Ebay intake??

[acch22]

Any of you guys bought one of these or have had any experience with it? I wonder if there're as good as AEM.

Its fine. Buy one and get a K&N filter and you're set!

bro an intake is an intake

[acch22]

Isn't there a difference in the one piece design vs the 2 piece as far as performance?

[ACCORDinglynice]

no its just an aluminum pipe with a filter

i prefer the 2piece, so in the winter i can take the extension off. that way i dont have to worry about soaking the filter.

[ACCORDianate]

Agreed. An intake is an intake. The only difference is the length and the temperature of the air that it allows in.

agreed an intake is an intake, its the filter that matters...no not for an extra 10hp to the wheels just for durability and longevity.

even if you get the latest V2 AEM Cold air system and Paid $300 for it, on our slight mod (I/H/E) F22A accord, the CAI net at most 5-7whp, so an cheap Ebay with good filter will net u 4-5whp for less then $50. Short ram is plug and play, CAI slight modify on most car(cutting and enlarging hole) AND STICK WITH 3" pipe with 2 nibble at the TB end, You get crappy idle if you only have breather nibble and the other one is pluged up.

see picture below with 2 nibble:

Whats this about bad idle? Explain.....

[akrodha]

Most inexpensive intakes just have a rod for you to plug in one of your vaccum hoses esentially pluggin it up. I haven't noticed any different idle with mine plugged. You could always tap the CAI with a working tube to hook it back up.

Be sure to reset your computer after putting it on and you'll be fine.

CAIs tend to be a little noiser, but hey, don't you want everyone to know you got some mods done?? lol..

for me ive noticed that with a cai, its not as loud but deeper. the sri is just loud.

If you want loud, try SRI and an arospeed blow off valve air filter. It even louder then most exhaust system. I had one one with stock exhaust and pull next to an 4" tip muffler civic and my air filter make a louder and deeper sound this his exhaust
