    Air Intakes

    This may be a dumb question but can any type of cold air intake go in our cars?

    intake

    Most should work, if not you can modify them. My intake isn't cold air, but it was modified to fit.

    Started with a 89 Accord LXI - 96 Acura TL - 2003 Acura CL Type S..

    A few people have made theirs with the help of the how-to of of Club Del Sol I believe, but HondaSi88 that a 93 teg Cold air will fit with battery in place...
    The GSX was killed, I need something new...

    Whats the difference between a cold air intake and a non-cold air intake? i know that one is smaller, but does it affect the performance?

    difference is that with a cold air intake you are pulling air from the wheel well....with the others you are pulling the hot air from under the hood. colder air = better performance

    I bought one of ebay that i sold already! It came from a 90-93 teg I had to cut and switch some things around for it to work!
    But the battery was still in the same place!
    Plus that intake suckkkked AIR hard! THe filter was really big on the unit!

    cold air intakes run down near the fender and front of the car close to the bottom and it suckes colder air regular high flow intakes sit next to the engine and start to suck warm engine air so less power and then theres stock i believe its only couple of horse difference between cold air or ill get my custom ram air set up still desideing and just an intake im putting cold air on my car in next couple weeks but right now i just have ractive heat shield filter on my intake
    hmm and you thought the reverse polarity of the sun made you loose to a 3rd gen accord

    Yeah you should get a bigger filter... the monstor K&N one I bought looked way bigger then I needed but it simply sucked more air in a lot better then the smaller one i had on before.

    doesn't look like that one will work man....you need to make sure that it has a longer straight pipe. Maybe around 1.5 to 2 feet or so. You could even pop your hood and get the rough measurements.

    now that one is quite a bit closer....don't know if the angled part would work though, I think it may be a little bit too angled but I am not sure.

    All I did was put a cone filter on the end of the hard plastic intake pipe to make it a short ram intake. I guess it sounds ok, but I wish it was deeper. Also, Ill be painting my taillights within the next few days. Any of you guys tried this out? My friend has a 92 EX 2 door and I know they dont make altezzas or clears for the 2 doors, so he took some Krylon Candy Red stained glass window spray and painted them red/white. They look pretty damn good!
    3rd Gen Accords..... The perfect daily driver!!!

    weapon r is not a cold air and it s not good if you want to buy a intake buy an 92 civic aem intake. They are much better just cut about 4 inches off thefilter end with a hack saw it will fit.
