have an integra....i have an aem cold air...just curious which is better for performance..

 

AEM goes psssssssssssssssssssssssssssst

 

i'd go with the comptech icebox if i could do it over again, probably will switch in the near future.

 

Ice box I have both and prefer the ice box.

 

Why do you guys like the comptech ice box?

 

I prefer my $10 DIY Icebox w/ $35 K&N modified to fit my stock airbox.

 

Where did you get that damn speaker port? I found them online for 39 cents. but 10 bux to ship!

 

Well I will break it down IMO.
AEM
pros 1.great high end power(probobly the best intake avail at high RPM's
cons
1.loud as hell
2.hydrolocking
3.slight loss in low and mid range power
Ice box,this is just how I see it,some HT members may feel different.
1.OEM sound,not loud at all in the box
2.short ram=great throttle response
3.very very slim chance of hyrolocking
4.great low and mid range power with almost as good as the AEM at high rpm,maybe 1 to 2 wheel hp,in which the AEM bypass valve will almost make them indentical.

You don't lose low and midrange power than stock, the icebox just has alittle more than AEM.



as you can see the AEM and INJEN have a midrange hump around 4k where they produce more power than the icebox.

I just happened to have it from when I was planning to build an enclosure for the sub I had in my old car, but I sold the sub and amp the day before I bought the Teg. I think I got it from Crutchfield, it wasn't too much. Surely you could find one at a car stereo shop. Also check out http://www.autotoys.com

 

Yea it gets a spike then drops right back down,below the ice box,Hence Ice box better all around mid range.

 

maggsr where did you buy your icebox and for how much?

 

I was very unfortunate to have paid full price from comptech total was around 300 for full intake filter and Ice box.
