want to add parts to my car

[accordfan]

hey guys i was looking at a cone for my car does anyone know whats a good cone to buy and the right size :P

[RAZR]

Whats a cone?

[accordfan]

its the air intake but just the cone part

[accordfan]

i dotn want to put a full air intake i just wanna put the cone

[RAZR]

Why dont you want to put a full intake on it? Simple to put on and really adds get up and go to the car

[accordfan]

because somone at work was telling me that since its an old car its not ment to have a full intake it can cost you fuel consumption and you will have problems with over heating. lol i dont know if thats true so thats why im asking the forum they know better then me:P

[2oodoor]

I don't agree with all that but it can cause problems if you drive in high water.

[accordfan]

lol so you think its a better idea if i install a full intake. which do you recommend. will it increase any hoarse power

[2oodoor]

Hoarsepower is what it'll sound like so that counts on the butt dyno lol

[accordfan]

sorry i dint understand wht u said lol

[2oodoor]

Well just like anything else that promises small increases in hp, they work a LOT better with other mods, then you get an overall worthy percentage of increase. In other words the intake will add more hp to a motor with say a header and cam than it would a stock motor.

[accordfan]

but would a full intake damage my car in any way. is it easy to put and wht do you suggest i should get

[RAZR]

If you have a quality filter it will not damage your engine. I have a true CAI with a bypass filter in the engine bay with a shield that i have over it so i have a CAI but when it rains i pull the shield off and it acts like a Short ram intake.

[accordfan]

So wht do you suggest I do

[accordfan]

like whats a good air intake that i can buy

Read this for ideas!
It's expensive to go with the full intake unless you can find a used one.

Any performance upgrade is going to negatively impact your mileage. You'd have to really mess it up to get it to overheat though. LOL

I run a k + n filter cone right off the throttle body i think its 2.750 inches but i cant remember. I got rid of the air box junky plumning and i can reach down from the top to get to the oil filter. I wash out the filter about once a year.
