hmm it could be that you just haven't heard it in 3mo hehe or.. since your new cai is practically a straight pipe, it's not diminished by the turns as much. maybe also cause you got the engine bored out a lil? i dunno.. I like the sound of my cai it's quiet while cruising but has a nice clean sound while acceleratingOriginally Posted by picopop
I did a test fit and the angle is just right,but I wanted to get opinions before I install it there and you're right I not going to put it there.
GREAT job on this. I wish I could have the time and the patience to do something like this. Im envious of you.

does it feel like it accelerates faster? and yes i believe that your cai being smaller would change the way it sounds. instead of being low tone its rapid air flow meaning louder, but coolerThe car runs great I just got back from taking her on a short test run. I'm gonna have fun driving her now especially after I break in the engine and trans. I still have to adjust the clutch a little bit more and get used to driving a stick, but it's all good.
One thing I noticed since I went to a smaller diameter on my CAI it seems alot louder. My CAI before was 3in the new one is 2.5in do you think thats why the sound difference or is it just me since I havent driven the 3G in 3months.
Oh well I will try to get some video's and pictures up this weekend after I do a little more fine tuning
and dont mount your other guage on the other pillar...it would look too funny lol, i would, if anything, mount them on the dash facing you.
It does, I held back yesterday I really wanted to stomp on it, but I'll give it a few more 100 miles or so before I do.
sweet...i want to hear it also....too bad i work weekends now. so you have to come down....and we can race...144k vs 7 miles accords..hehe

Would be funny him not going over 4k rpm and still own you, well prob not possible. Anyways Pico i wouldn't mount the gauge on the other pillar. I would mount it like MKY said, or have it like mine in the cassette holder
