Hey Tunez, have you had a chance to do a write up on the install of your CAI? I'm going to put it on my tib until I can get MHP or Kores CAI. Thanks smile.gif

 

Thats cool. I understand, it's kinda like a secret family recipe you don't want any body to have because your making a profit from it. I guess I'll just have to fend for myself. How much are you actually selling them for? cause $100 sounds a little pricey for abs piping and a heat sheild filter. j/k not to bad of a deal if you can't do it yourself.

 

Man you're getting ripped on the filter. I got my Ractive heat shield filter for less then $40 with tax. It's all good though, if I fÜck up doing mine I might buy one of yours. rolleyes.gif

 

I hope it works good cause I got beat by a civic SiR at the track on friday.
Removing the resonator was bad idea without CAI.

 

Prarie Shark -
Did you take off just the resonators, and replace the stock intake feed, or did you remove all the plastic up to the inlet on the stock air filter box?
You shouldn't have lost any performance for turbulent air if you removed just the resonators and replaced the feed. However, if you took out everything up to the filter box, then you will lose power. Not because of turbulent air, but because after about 20 minutes, the radiator fan is going to kick on, and will be directing hot air almost directly into the inlet hole on the filter box.

 

Yeah I pulled out everything. All I have is the air box so it does get warm air but I figured it might get more air. WRONG
Anyways I will run my car again when Tunez's CAI arrives and I get it installed.

I had the same thought process, and got the same results. I'm going for the KORE CAI, and in the interim, I took the stock intake feed, drilled out the rivets that hold the small resonator on it, and did a quick 'n dirty electrical tape wrap job over all the remaining holes. At the very least I'm directing colder air back into the filter, and now the air is sent straight to the filter and into the engine, instead of having the labyrinth of resonators to get lost in. If you wanted to be more adventurous, you could probably rig up a temporary CAI, drawing air from the underside of the car up into the stock filter box...

Just a thought.
