    Another CAI thread...

    Well i did some reasearch on CAI for our cars and i figured out that ones for the 5g accord will fit with a little cutting. So, I went on ebay and looked up some CAI, and would like to hear what you guys think of the ones i picked. Cause im a little sceptical when the CAI is only 15$...

    well here ya go
    $15 with $30 shipping
    $20 with $30 shipping
    $25 with $30 shipping
    $40 with $25 shipping

    Re: Another CAI thread...

    i need to jump on one of those soon. i can feel the power difference w/ my sri, but the idea of torque to go w/ it it is tantalizing. maybe that's where part of my xmas bonus will go...

    Re: Another CAI thread...

    i trust you. i just haven't gotten around to putting in my civic one. and i think i'll just buy a 7g (or is it 6g?) accord one instead since those appear to bolt on even easier than a teg. 2.5" piping for that torque. but come spring. either it's hot and dry as hell here or it's like now--cold and flooding.
