Regarding: Cold Air Intakes
Hey guys. I am always on the forum here and I know there is a possible post on Cold Air Intakes
But.... I wanted to know if you guys think it is worth the money to buy a Intake for a stock 05 TL automatic. Do you notice a big response with it/ horsepower & torque increase/ better gas mileage? Give me your feedback and what Cold Air Intakes you recommend. AEM ect...
Thanks

i noticed a gain, although i also noticed a drop of 1 mpg after i installed it. funny thing when i did install it. after turning the vehicle on, the CEL came on. at first this worried me, took it out for a quick drive, as soon as i spiked the vtec, CEL went away. i would recommend the intake mod. sounds a bit meaner as well.

not sure what you mean by a possible post on cold air intakes.
There are many threads on this
I installed the AEM, and definately noticed a difference.
I took my dad for a ride before and after, and he noticed a difference also.
My mileage went up 1, which surprised me because I get on it more now just to hear the growl.

the best thing of all =) it turns your V6 sound... into like a V8 or something like that..
the GROWL is HUGE!!!
and i love it.. u can cruise on the highway.. no noticing anything... accel.. and u will love it =)
after the AEM.. i find it easier to wheelspin = torque gain at lower end i think
try doing this
blip the gas pedal first.. then step on it =)
i dunno about the brand.. but the AEM sounds quite nice.

Hope that helps.......

the whistling is pressure leaving your CAI ~ think of a flute, or really fast air going thru a hole err..aka whistling ~ and there you have it lol ~
i'm still debating whether to grab a CAI since i have no cash..
but the sounds and just the way the engine looks afterwards is too damn attractive!!!

I've got the AEM, and I recommend it. My mileage went up 2 MPG, but I find my foot more towards the floor than before. I recommend and exhaust mod after the intake, then your ears are in for a treat!

The following info based on gen 2 intake- not sure if applicable to gen 3s
Those on a budget can increase the air getting to the engine by removing the
LOWER intake resonator.
This is invisable to certain car inspectors too!

Does getting an AEM air intake request modification to exhaust???
I like the way the stock exhaust sounds as it was fine tuned by Honda...
Sometimes I hear civics and integras make farting sounds or high pitched buzz sounds like bumble bees. Or even heard it where someone blips the gas and then u hear popping / cracking sounds. will the AEM do that to stock exhaust?

No- it doesn't require modification to the exhaust. Rule of them is you open up the intake breathing, you open up the exhaust flow. By modification to the exhaust, you might get a couple of horses, but it's the sound most people are after. And on the TL, most people go for a growl rather than the fart can exhaust like on the 4 cylinder Honda's and such. It's all just personal preference.

I installed the AEM CAI and I like it alot. The first thing you will notice is the improved throttle response. In most Honda/Acura vehicles, there's a little lag when you want to punch the throttle say.. for a tight lane change or something. After installing it the lag time is practically gone. I recommend it.

A J35A8 EG civic is in
You can get a Fujita CAI for the +04 TLs for 160 shipped. I think Fujita is the same as AEM right? or is it the same as Injen? i always get confused.

Cold Air Intake
Does anyone know a good place in Central Jersey to buy and have the AEM CAI installed? I'll also consider buying online if the price is right, just don't want to pay a fortune for shipping.
Thanks for the help guys!

Installation is very simple... shouldn't take longer than a hour to 2 hours depending on the skill level... AEM include very detailed instructions... specifically for the vehicle...
Good Luck...
PM me if you need someone in NJ to install if you're not comfortable installing yourself...

Thanks for the help guys! I'm going to get in touch with Excelerate. I've had the car since 3/20 and havn't done too much except get the windows tinted (5% all around) Next up is the intake and to make a decision on 18's or 19's, I'm thinking about Zinetti Five Rims (blk w/ chrome lip) with Michilin PS2 tires. Anyway, Great to be apart of the acurazine family and talk to guys again soon.
