Hey, does anyone run one??

I'm a little weary of running an open filter CAI (we get lots of rain, with lots of pretty big puddles), so this seems like a good alternative.......

Any opinions or testamonials??

Thanks

 

get the icebox, you'll be safer then a CAI if you're that paranoid

 

First thing you should do is search. There are a whole lot of threads about the Icebox.

However, I've been running one for the past year. I've been very happy with the product and like that it's quiet. The only problem I have with the Icebox is that the lid doesn't always close right. I also had a problem with one of the mounting brackets.

Lastly, you don't need to get the Comptech SRI and can use your stock intake arm.

 

I bought the filter and the icebox. Works good and is quiet as hell. If you live in a place where it rains, might be a good thing to invest in.....

 

i'm waiting for my ice box to come in the mail as we speak......i will let you know my results when i slap it on.........i've been running the itr aem cai for the past 4 years though.....so we'll see

 

ice box if you got money otherwise make a homemade one.

 

Ok, anyone know of the difference in gains when running the icebox with the comptech sri opposed to the stock arm w/ comtech foam filter?

 

people say minimal to none, but im sure there are better gains with the comptech sri.

 

The Comptech SRI is just for show. You can actually use your rubber intake arm and the stock paper filter, or opt for an aftermarket K&N drop-in or Comptech's foam filter.

The Icebox is a great intake -- essentially an imitation of the $650 Mugen intake.

(BTW, don't try to 'make your own Icebox'...dyno tests were done and all the hackjob versions didn't really do much over stock, let alone compete with the Icebox)

 

I just got My comptech IceBox & Short Ram....Its alot Quieter Than Aem's Intake...

 

where can u buy the icebox from

 

I have the Comptech Icebox and I love it

 

I have just the icebox, stock filter and stock intake arm and it gives good power gains, but I must say it doesnt sound anywhere near an AEM.

 

i just had the foam filter and it was alright, but my aem sri is def better

Were these tests done on heavily modded r's, or gsr's with basic bolt-on's? I would like to see........will go search now.

 

Anyone got a link to a soundclip of the Icebox? I know you say its quiet but I'd like to hear

FROM ME!!!!!!!

I HAVE A BRAND NEW ICEBOX LOOKING FOR A NEW OWNER. NEVER USED, NEVER INSTALLED, ORDERED DIRECTLY FROM COMPTECH. IT PROVIDES BETTER THROTTLE RESPONSE AND MID-RANGE THAN AEM, PLUS YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HYDRO-LOCK.

CHECK MY SIG

No gains whatsoever, just comptechs way of ripping us off. Somewhere in the Type R archives is a dyno plot of an Icebox w/ stock intake arm putting up the same exact #'s (better midrange) than the $650 mugen intake

$160 icebox vs. $650 mugen..............

1 Icebox please

 

I love my Icebox, I had an AEM and would never go back. I had a problem with the bottom pipe coming off on the Ice Box, then I realized the person who installed it put the mounting bracket on backwards now it's perfect. And I noticed just last week that he also didn't close the box right either, he put the filter inside the box and closed the lid over it and there was an opening, I put the lip of the filter on the lip of the box and now it's got a perfect seal and is quieter.

Ice Box

If my car weren't put up for the winter I wouldn't even dream of selling mine.

 

Is the best set up now when you get alot of rain.

I did the exact same thing, was annoying as hell until I figured out I was a moron.

 

ehh..i just installed the ice box..........truthfully...........gains are minimal compared to the aem cai.........its definately quieter, but according to my butt dyno, the power gain was minimal. It seems like a good design though!

 

Butt dyno is worthless. The Icebox has shown gains equal to or better than the AEM.
