For those of you still waiting for the 3G Icebox, here's the latest from Comptech. Just got the e-mail yesterday.

"Yes there will be an icebox for the 04 and up TL’s. Unfortunately, because of everything being released for the 06 Civic SI and Ridgeline, the TL ice box has been put on hold. I would expect to see it after the first of the year. Once again I apologize for the delay. "

I see they don't really seem to be hurrying to get it out. In April, they told me it would be out in a couple of months.

 

CAI is good enough......

 

right now i think the icebox is only available for those who buy the supercharger. It comes with the kit right?

 

same shit they told me last year. They are full of garbage.

 

CT takes their time for sure. That Jan date will probably be pushed back too. Well...its not like we don't have other options, but I still want an Icebox.

 

soo icebox comes with the S/C?i should read more about the S/C more since im looking foward into getting a S/C soon..

 

The Jan date will be pushed back because it was originally going to be october 05, then summer 06, and now January 07? Sure.

 

Well yes it is an Icebox but one that works only with the S/C. It will not work on N/A TL's.

And I've been harassing Comptech on this too. 3 years and no Icebox!!!

 

Just wondering...what would be the interest, or even if there is any potential benefit of having a custom air induction box created such as a gruppeM one, or an ArC?

I'm saying this because the stock box is already pretty free flowing, if you take out the resonator and the pipping, you can just custom fab a pipe that goes from the stock airbox, to the front left, lower grill area and act as a ram air tube, without the risk of hydrolocking.

Any input?

 

I have been waiting since last december he told me it would be out soon.

 

I say keep waiting if you want to but what the point. Its just not high priority when you have so many other cars out there that respond to mods better and have a bigger interest like the TSX, civic, RSX. If anything I would think they would be seeing what mods they might have to make to see if the SC will fit on the 3.5 typeS layout. We have enough CAI's out that are pretty good. The design can only get so much better because they did a great job on it form the factory. The only thing now is that most of us can't go through puddles with the aftermarket ones like we could with the factory one

 

The so called "ICE BOX'' that came with the s/c is terrible. I had CAI from AEM and when I switched into S/C KIT, i hated the icebox that came with it.

Comptech ICEBOX is over rated, I'm an AEM CAI fan.

 

^^couldn't agree more^^
