cold air intake time. ;]

[Gotz Cb7]

So, goin' cold air. Now, today..(don't have the cold-air intake yet), but..took the battery out, and took the air box and stuff out. Now, came across a black box. After readin' around and all, I think only certain accords have these? Example..

Now, do I need this box? It has a plug to it, so I'd think it was kinda important. I see the skinny hose going from the black box, to my intake manifold. Do I take this black box out, and use that skinny hose to plug into the cold-air. I know there's something that goes into the cold-air pipe to stop from water gettin' into the intake? I've got the SE, so I'm pretty sure I have all the goodies I need. Right now, the hoods up..batteries out, waitin' on what to do with this black box.

i just unplugged it and left it there no problems and iv had my cai for about 3 months

So, the cold air pipe would manuver around that box?

[DmcnKng90]

i would think so if not just take it out its just takin up space since its unplugged i still havent gotten a cel from it being unplugged so it must not make a big defference if any

All accords have it, its useless with out the stock intake.

Cap the vacuum line, unplug it, and take it out.

So, what line do I use to plug into the cold air to stop water from gettin' into the intake?

[DmcnKng90]

you have to buy a bypass valve

i had it on my car and i took it out first thing i have a cold air intake if u want it tell me

yeah i have that box in the attic somewhere. It serves no purpose w/ the CAI. And having a hole there doesn't get water in the car, that's what the fender splash shield and the lower splash shield are for.

now if you dont have the splash shield (i dont) then you would need a bypass

No, if you don't have the splash shield there, then get splash shield, and forget about all the other garbage.

just go to the JY and grab one off another CB7, chances are they'd all prob. be in good condition. b/c there's no reason to touch it unless you put a CAI in there lol.

[Gotz Cb7]

Yea, I've still got mine.
