Im looking into getting a CAI (but using it as a SRI since there is always flooding and deep as puddles where I live)

I am wondering how much of a change is there to the sound of the engine? I had a civic ex previously (riced out) and the intake made a big change in how the engine sounded. I was curious to know if installing the intake on the TL was just as dramatic.

Thanks.

 

yea i too am curious. from what ive been reading it makes a significant difference in the engine bay. i have a turboed mazdaspeed protege and my intake made a HUGE sound difference. still debating on this mod...

 

Yea, it a deeper sound when you accelerate, and its a big difference

 

an annoying difference?

 

No. I like it so much i got pulled over doin 65 in a 30 difference. sounds great

 

likewise. in my dc5 (rsx-s) 80 in a 25. no ticket cause my uncle was the cop. bad thing, i got a black eye...

 

u might lose power from the hot air being pulled in, wich the TL is very sensitive to.
