Where can I buy a 3inch CAI?

[rossisalvage]

I bought this one off ebay that was advertised as 3 inches http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TODAY.m238.lVI
and it ended up being 2.5 inches. The guy stopped answering my emails and messages and hasent returned my money yet. So does anyone have a 3 inch CAI for the accord or prelude and know the seller it was from on ebay? Or know of any other places to get one? Thanks

ahh man shoulda done some more research on the seller first...confirm this and that like 5 times...and of course read all the details clearly of what you're getting...if the seller ripped ya...im thinkin he kinda did. Then IDK...most likely the best choice to get a 3" is to get the big brand names OR...like i did..luckily...found a 3" at autozone one day for a civic.

From the listing: "Item comes with 3" Polished Aluminum Piping and
One High Flow Racing Air Filter"


It's even advertised in the picture:




Good luck getting your money back....

[ExplodingCake]

Ahh yes , the false advertising from sellers on ebay..

Most aftermarket accord intakes are 2.5 in piping..

YEah like said above get one from a prelude.

file a dispute with paypal

"item is not as described"

take a picture of the piping with a ruler and i'm sure paypal will reimburse you, cruddy part is, you would have to mail it back out of your own pocket.

Yea im gonna give him another chance to answer me but if not then thats what im gonna do. So basically any Prelude intake should be 3inch piping? I was looking at these (Im gonna put an AEM or K&N filter on of course)
Intake 1
Intake 2
Intake3

Do you guys think these have 3 inch piping?

I dont see why your complaining about a 2 1/2... I see no difference perforamance wise.. You would be better off sticking with that, and just save for another, sell that one for the same ammount you paid.

On a bolt on f22a1, yea I doubt you will see any performance. But I am going to be running a built h22a with a 68mm or 70 mm tb.

2.5 inch intake= 63.5 mm.
3 inch intake = 76.2 mm.

i made my own from 40 dollars worth of piping. even sold a short ram from the extra piping for 10 dollars to a local tuner.

Thats real nice man, where did you get the piping? And how did you bend it or did it come bent? and does anyone know about them intakes I listed? I really need or order one or make one cause my dyno is on the 18th.

Yeah, ok i see where your comin from now. Even though a 3 inch may be better.. you may only see 1-2 HP more... is it REALLY worth the money at that point? :\
