Nolan,
If you are talking about the stock intake setup then the part you are taliking about is a resonator tube and is not needed. is what you are talking about the part i have circled in the picture link below??

2005 It's 12's or bust!! All BOOST all the time!
I have seen turfnnsurf's intake system and its the most cleanest CAI i have ever seen. IT was perfectly made and flawless. I saw this at NJ meet and i am sure everyone who came to the meet would agree with it. Instead of buying an Intake for another car and then 'trying' to fit it in ur car is just a waste of time and ur money. rather spend it on something good and get it right the first time. I am sure maurice would agree with me on this based on his short ram intake that he has.
that's the one turf. so it's not needed? can i put something there to cover the hole that would be left? thanks for letting me know turf.
Burn rubber 3g style!!!

what car would be the best CAI fit for AEM for ours?

88 Prelude Si with 4 Wheel Steering and a JDM B20A
damn... people. Yo go to the first page of this thread and look it up u will see what would fit.
You want the 2.5 inch one.Originally posted by Justin86
I went on ebay and checked out the 94 accord cold air intakes. They are just about all different. I'm not sure which one would be best. They have different diameters. Some are one piece and others are two. There is also short air rams. Please help me pick the right one.
Made in "My Own Backyard" and coated with 3M Rubberized spray paint.
Headers are in the mail
Hey, that looks pretty good. Bet you can really tell a differents.
What kind of tubing did you use.
Btw looks like a Giant bird took a crap on your valve cover. LOL :lol Just kidding nothing a little paint wouldn't fix.
As a matter of fact, my valve cover does look like a bird got to it
I used a Civic 3 inch short ram (ebay) and a custom cut 90 degree (actually whole pipe was 180 degrees) 3 inch pipe from J.C. Whitney.
The short ram part is lightweight aluminum and the other half is aluminized (I think) steel. That half is heavy.

I made mine from mandrel bend 2 1/2" pipe. I couldn"t believe the gains I got. Gas mileage went up to about 4 miles more on the hwy. I cleaned my injectors and changed the "o" ring and gasket the other day and could tell my engine starts up quicker.
Anyway yours look real nice. Good job!
Hey thanks for the help. I'm pretty sure how I'm going to build my CAI.
I didn't have to relocate my battery. I just had to move it over a little bit. But my battery is smaller than others.
that looks awsome man. By the way, why did u go with the rubberized look and texture instead of the ceramic? oh yeah like said above, ur engine bay needs some serious help. shit load of engine degreaser and power wash it good
I went with the rubberized look because, the heat resistant paint I had needed to be cured in an oven and a that was not possible and I also had some rubberized paint leftover from when I did my trunk with it.
Don't you think it should do as well if not better than the ceramic stuff?
If anyone cares, you can get this stuff for about $6 from Wal-Mart(keep in mind that it comes in a larger can than your average spray paint).
I think it will work just fine
good thinking on that, but how is the temperature rating on that. I have a can of that in my garage and i sprayed a good deal on the gas tank when i changed mine. That shit is good. I got it when it was just 4 bucks in Walmart.
I couldn't find any temp ratings on the can but, it does withstand the heat under my hood and the pipe is cool to the touch. The alloy short-ram half was slightly warm (as warm as a person's forehead with a fever) but the steel part going into the bumper area was cold (like steel).
I recommend
hehehe, i am gonna give that a shot. spray it with rubberized undercoat and then give it a clean paint of high temp ceramic spray.
I used a bunch of PVC piping. then i bought a cold air filter removed, the filter from the air box, and ran the cold air in he hole by the battery! it fits in perfectly. i used 2 incg piping also.. i nitice a nice diff in the power
ur just kidding with the PVC right?
I heard that makes a custom toxic fumigation setup. Something about engine bay high temps releasing deadly fumes. But then I dont really know...
I will be converting my car to EFI in a couple of days and I'm trying to figure out how I should make a CAI. I have looked at the how to on making one. I have seen some with some kind of filter looking thing usally in the middle of the CAI and a lot of CAI's with out this. Do you really need one of these? What does it do? Also I want to move my battery to the trunk and was looking for any tips on doing this.
The filter is a by-pass valve. Its in case you go through a puddle of water your intake doesn't suck it up. Water in your intake is not good.
