hey guys need some advise any1 here using comptech ice box intake on there ek's hows it performance wise?, and any1 using this intake kit has used other brand airfilter in it?

Cheers

 

anyone that can answer this question please???

 

I assume this is a CAI? Using just a CAI isnt going to give you a huge boost in performance, sure its better, but most likely, not something that you'll notice too much.

 

He's reffering to the Comptech short ram intake + icebox combo. It's a short ram intake with the filter enclosed in a plastic box with a tube that goes down and sits down in the bumper. Air gets routed through the tube and up into the box where the filter is.
I don't have any experience with it, but have read nice things about it. If my car was N/A, this would be the intake setup I would buy...I really like Comptech's products.

 

yep thats the one, but need to know if its possible to fit another aftermarket airfilter in it instead on the comptech 1?

 

I upgraded from a generic short ram, and it is a world apart. Faster accleration, more power on the butt dyno, clean looking in the engine bay and also a smooth non-ricey intake sound. Also, I don't have to worry about hydrolock, which is a big thing in hawaii, lots of rain and deep unexpected puddles...
worth the price in my opinion.

As for different filters, it may be possible to fit a K&N replacement, but I'm not sure...why do you want to change the filter?

you can get a k&n to fit anything...
they make a million crazy little attachments so even if you want the biggest cone filter they make, there is a fitment to connect it to 3" piping...

if i wasnt so lazy, id go take a picture of mine so you could see it.

 

yeah, i figured it would fit the pipe, but the lid of the icebox not fitting securely is what may cause problems. It's a pretty snug fit.

 

The USDM Type R filter will fit in it perfectly.

 

the reason i want to know is i know the comptech filter doesnt drain enough air, its hard to explain, a mate of mine has 1 for the s2k and the filter doesnt do much, that why im asking about other ways of putting aftermarket filters in the box
