Alright sry if i make anyone mad about over posting the same subject. Its not my intention all. Ok my question is it even worth putting a cold air intake on my car? Will i get any gains worth anything? Please give me a little input and i spoke to someone before about the diy ice box which i was really cosidering. Any info would be apperacited

 

Ice box? Are you using this for racing, because it's not really worth it on a daily driver.

As far as installing a CAI goes. It's not always cut and dry whether you will see any gains from it. You definitely won't see any gains in fuel economy if you keep your foot to the floor. You might see a couple horses freed up depending on the length of the intake and style of filter.

This has been discussed at length on more than one occasion. If you search the all motor forum you may find some more information.

 

You get a beefier noise

 

Keep in mind this is strictly #'s. I've never seen/felt/owned a cold air intake that has had noticeable power. As JPM mentioned, it sounds meaner which makes you think you're going faster. Maybe in the case of something like:

OR
http://passwordjdm.com/PasswordJDM-D...2591C1306.aspx

which have power chambers to increase velocity you may feels some difference. The generic tube won't harbor any power.

 

Your intake doesn't get colder it just stays cooler and it will sound better. Because of this, you will get slightly better amount of air in the combustion chamber which will translate into slightly better power. I had one before and I really did feel slightly better power and it sounded better. However you will feel the need to push it harder which will negate any positive effects. lol

 

Well thankyou guys and i appreciate all the info. I'm gonna get something just don't know what and I've always liked the sound of a intake. Prob won't help my gas at all lol cause i like to hear it to much!

 

Loved the sound of it going threw a tunnel or under a bridge..... I couldn't keep my foot off the gas when I had mine.



My intake was louder than my exhaust.... just he way I like it! I hate fart can Honda's! It's easy to just bolt on a loud muffler. It's harder to make your engine sound nice. That being said, a good header and exhaust setup also changes the intake note as well.

 

I agree i also have headers and i don't like the fart sound either. Gives hondas a bad name in my opinion. By the way ghost the car your building is very clean i like your work!!!

 

Thank you!

 

I couldn't help but chuckle when watching that. It's so stock!

 

Is it though.............?

 

ITB's, once piece front end, variable degree spoiler, mega squirt management system. Nope, she looks the same

 

Ghost, did you make the heatshield for the filter yourself? I been talking about mocking up one for years but never got around to it yet..

 

Yes sir! It was cut and bent out of a piece of thin gauge sheet metal. Topped with a piece of old rubber weather stripping I found at the junk yard. It was from the trunk of an 81 Camaro to be more precise.

Currently making a top feed air box/heat shield for my Tribute.

 

Sorry to bring this one back to the top again. Can anyone tell me will the honda prelude air intake fit on a 02 honda accord 2.3l ive looked to see if anyone elese has done it but i could not find anything on it. The intake pipe looks bigger on these cars from the pics ive looked at if im wrong please let me know.

 

So if its bigger get a size up coupler? You guys need to use your brain a little bit.
