how loud is and icebox compared to stock... and also how does it flow? right now i have a cold air intake which works great but i dont like how loud it is anymore. i'm ready for a sleeper.

 

i must say, i'm with you. thats why i got rid of my aem intake and decided to go w/ an ef8 airbox w/ a drop in K&N. soon, i'm gonna make a cold air pipe for it, and plug up the hole for the resonator. that should quiet it up even more

 

if you guys are really that worried about how loud an intake is then thats the least of your worries... do you guys wanna be fast or sit around and worry about pointless ****?

have you ever thought that some people want to have fast cars, but dont want to have onboxiously loud cars as well? sure a aem cold air, and a n1 style muffler will make the most amount of power...but driving w/ that and having to deal w/ the boys in blue can be a problem.

Oh yeah! Because anything this is loud MUST be fast. At least thats what all the ricers with fart pipes think. Get real.

 

thanks for the support but anyway... how much of a noise difference is there? is the icebox still loud? i'll admit i used to like the noise but my fast and furious days are over..... i wanna be able to hustle people cuz i'm still rollin on my stock gsr wheels with skunk 2 valve train and stage 2 cams with ctr pistons running a little over 12 to 1 compression with hondata s200. so if i could get an intake that still flows well and is somewhat quiet that would be the ****. if possible anyway. i really dont care about a 5 hpr loss. i already got my exhaust pretty quiet with a high flow cat and 2.5 inch piping with a glass pack and an s2k muffler.

 

if you have a dc2, shiet...i'd get a itr air box, those can be had for not too much. drop in a K&N filter. and i know there are some companies out there that make cold air ducting specific to your application, just get that...if not, save a penny or two and make one yourself

 

I say ITR airbox/drop-in filter also. With the Ice-box, it's still going to be noticably louder, especially at WOT, but no where near as loud as an AEM.

you shouldnt worry about that, no one is Not going to race you if its loud... have you ever heard an intake on a stock like DX motor? those are loud as **** and it doesnt mean a damn thing... you should still get races reguardless of how loud your intake is, i mean it would be different if you were pulling up to race someone with an iceman intake coming out of the head light or something...

obviously i'm not fast? what...do i have to have a 10 second car to be fast? stop watching the fast and the furious dip shiet, get out of la la land. and for someone thats been pulled over as many times as me, when i say you dont want to be pulled over for having loud components on your car, i say it for a reason. I HAVE been pulled over for a loud intake, and why did the sheriff officer check for a carb sticker on the intake? or maybe i'm the idiot here...maybe i should get my 10 second car with stand alone fuel management so i can run w/ the big boys like you

 

and please...in the future just edit your post

 

A tad louder (WOT) over a stock 1.6L or 1.8L, since there's no resonater on the Icebox.

But not a hella of a difference vs a shortram or J's style intake.

 

...instead of making two immediately following it

your right...your right. that not the only reason i got pulled over... . you answered correctly. the all knowing super fast drag racer knows the tru reason i got pulled over. i bet your still one of those guys who think a cold air and a straight through, loud *** n1 muffler is the only way you can make good power. the louder the better eh? but then again, what would i know...anything slower than 13.5 is a slow *** car to you. make i should just continue to roll w/ slow bastards like myself
