cold air intake you mean obx makes some good ones make sure its a two bracket cold air intake . Its easier access and you may have to bore out the lining inside where the stock factory box hole was so it can fit down there it needs to be widened out a bit for it to fit.

Yea Iam going to look into those. Right now I got an extra 200$ and I am trying to look for anything decent to get some HP.

Im sorry to thread jack here but i have been considering a cam upgrade/regrind and i was wonder how much it ended up costing for you guys who went with the regrind? did it cause any driviability problems and overall was the gains worth the money spent?

$200? Hmmm... Don't bother with a cold air intake. Get the cheapest short ram you can find. It'll give you some power gains, and you'll be able to make more use out of your remaining money. You'll gain more from a cheap intake and something else, than just an expensive intake. As a reference, I paid $200 flat for my AEM CAI... NOT worth it if that's all you're planning on working with now!

From what I've heard about the Delta regrinds, they're great. There are a number of trustworthy, knowledgable people on this board that use them and love them. Contact Delta and ask them what would be best for you. They have different grinds for different applications. Figure out what direction you're going in, and see if they can tailor your grind to that.

With $200, smart shopping, and good research, you can get probably at least 20hp from your car. Crank hp, anyway.

Just wonderin is this any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38634

Yeah, that looks ok. Keep in mind though that when you get a cold air intake, you'll have to do two things. 1) modify your engine bay where the stock airbox goes into the fender well (where the resonator is)... the hole is too small, and you'll have to cut the metal to get the pipe down there. and 2) be very careful in high water, since having a straw going into a puddle is a very bad thing! AEM's cold air intake has an optional "bypass valve" which can fix that, but the valve itself (which I have yet to buy) is more than that entire intake! $45 or so. Short ram may be your best bet, since the gains offered by a cheap cold air intake won't be noticable different, especially on a fairly stock engine.

[Adam91AccordLX]

Well is it really hard putting it in Iam fairly new to cars and yea I have a good Idea about how to install it but would you recommend me installing it?

[h22sparkle]

do it yourself my boy you take one pipe. Connect it onto the throttlebody,tighten down the clamps but not too tight then connect the other tubing onto the one you just connected going down into the firewall area, then bolt on the clamps and tighten them down and your done.

[Adam91AccordLX]

sounds easy I guess Ill give it a try.
