how come i cant find them anywhere over the web...? is the domain comptechusa.com

if so that doesnt work

 

Any particular reason you dont want an "aluminum piped" intake?

 

trying to look for something with a stock clean look...but at the same time i hear they are quiet and I want my vtec to growl as much as it can lol... so now its between comptech and aem v2

 

Get the V2

 

They are back in business. http://www.ct-engineering.com is there new website, you can order it from there i believe

if not ebay usually has one floating around occassionally

 

I rock the ice box on my ep3 and love it. No worries about sucking up water and sounds mean at higher rpm's.

 

cool...so what do you guys say...aem v2 or comptech?

 

I have never had a V2, but the Comptech Icebox is a great intake system. I would go for the Icebox. It is harder to install and it makes it difficult to upgrade to Nology wires, but it sounds good and performs well.

 

yea for now i have my eyes set on the icebox..just waiting for a pm

 

I have one that i would trade for a 3inch cai.

 

clubrsx.com usually has a bunch of guys that want to get rid of their comptech intakes for 100-150

 

The ice box looks soooooooo much better then any of the cai's. the only thing more baller then comptech is arc.

 

I have a comptech icebox for sale... If you want to take it let me know!!!

if you got a little skill you can modify your stock box and its so close to the comptech box..just your labor and time.

mugen

 

I am wondering will the 02-04 RSX kit # 330-130 fit a 02 Civic SI? I am thinking it will I will just have the extra parts that the RSX needs but I want to know for sure before ordering.

 

i just finished installing mine...hardest intake ever to install IMO....i use to cheap pipes that "plug and play"...this requires a bit more modification..

plus the instructions skip a bunch of parts...

What was the point of this thread? You should have researched more before you bought it. The Comptech Icebox gives you better throttle response/ low-end to mid-range power. If you wanted top end you should have invested in a cold air intake. If you follow the directions form Comptech its pretty simply to install in my opinion.

 

well its not that much harder, but i come from a b series with a short ram intake to this intake that requires assembly...the intake looks great and feels good...not the loudest but dont care because its the HP numbers that count...

But AEM claims that plastic absorbs sound vibrations which isnt that good because due to some type of phenomenal that occurs air travels faster with these vibrations so the aluminum keeps a better pattern going thus faster velocity into your throttle body...

but at the same time plastic cools better...i dont know if it does better than aluminum but overall its a need "stock" looking intake

 

keep the Comptech IceBox in place and install an AEM cai. It will fill up the hole in your engine bay plus you'll get the power of a cold air intake.
