how do yoo guys like the comptech icebox intake ?
do yoo guys just have the intake box alone ?
thanx for the comment

 

anyone ?
please ?

 

Yeah, I'm still debating whether or not to spend the $350 for the whole icebox.. or go with something cheaper

 

theb16a2, you losing sleep over this intake? J/k. You can't go wrong with either the Ice box or the AEM.

 

I dont care what yall say. $365 for Icebox is a lot, and $300 or whatever for the AEM upgrade is still a lot of money for a dang intake.

Short ram intake with your own homemade icebox cold air extension is a in my book.

 

AEM cold airs run 200 or less usually.

 

Oh, I thought they were like $289 or something. How much is that new V sec or whatever?

 

hehe . . . not really . . . it's just one of my first engine upgrades . . . i basically just got finish fixing my whole suspension . . . *sighs* what a hassle it was . . . prob gonna go with the aem . . . i'm too poor for comptech

 

Waste of money, in my opinion. Alot of the ITR guys have them, but again, with those guys are all about *Bling Bling*. If you are planning on keeping the internal stock, stick with a AEM or Iceman intake. Or do what I did, but a cheap polished intake(without filter) from pep-boys($20) and but the cold air extension from DC sports (for a '99-'00 SI)($85 new) and KN filter online ($32 shipped) and you can have a decent cold-air intake that is nice looking and works. Works for me on a 11.8:1 motor.

However, if you don't care for looks, (I know I gonna get flamed for this) stick with Home Depot intake setup. Yes, I know, alot of computer-nerds claims it give some dangerous vapor and blah, blah, blah.....whatever. But this will work and has been proven many times. Well, here in the the Tampa area alot guys have used this for many years and works. Only from experience.

 

I have the intake and icebox on my b16a2 and the difference is noticeable. I also have the comptech intake, ctr intake camshaft, and apexi n1 exhaust, which is going to be replaced with the comptech exhaust. The n1 is a piece of junk, not fully stainless piping. Back on topic, the icebox totally quiets the intake, you can't hear the whistling that plagues most intakes. It combines the effectiveness of a short ram and the cool air of a full cold air.
