Show your Air intake setup

[shepherd79]

Ok,
i want to see who has best air intake setup.
show us.

[Mystic1]

its nothing special but check out my cardomain site for a pic

[nswst8]

I would also like to see your ideas on CAI set ups. I'm thinking of using AEM 2.5 filter and a modified 2.5 exhaust pipe. Should I run it as a short ram or take it as far as I can along the original run of the stock intake.

heres my home made short ram!

short ram

cold air





I don't mind PMs, but to prevent 10,000 of the same question, the CAI is custom made for the car at an exhuast shop, not fitted from another car.

[Mystic1]

How much modification if any did you need to get that to fit past the battery, or is the battery just moved to the side?

[kicker1_solo]

the battery is just moved over a little bit. I could just turn the battery sideways but my wires aren't long enough

[Justin86]

hum I wish I had a CAI, stupid Lx. If I did if would be aluminum, 2.5" pipe, custom bended, and maybe I'll polish it too. :pimp:

The filter on my original Civic shortram was rubbing on the proporting valve lines, so I decided to go with this. Simple and effective.

Bit offtopic, but here's my 86 with the 89 DX bumper. Wanted a solid black bumper and the cool 88-89 lenses. Gonna do some fiberglass and bondo work to it. Clean up some scratches and customize it a tad.

I know you sold that CAI, but how much did it cost for the exhaust system to build it for you? I want one made for it when I buy it, but I don't know what I am going to have to expect to get one made, is it just a matter of bending the pipe to fit right, or what?

My home-made very short short-ram:

[AccordArizona89]

hey sabz what kinda strut bar is that/what year did u use?

[Sabz5150]

hey sabz what kinda strut bar is that/what year did u use?

That's a Ractive strut bar for 86-89 Accords. Unfortunately Ractive discontinued that bar. You MIGHT be able to find one at www.ppsonline.net . That's where I ordered mine and it cost me approximately 50 dollars shipped.

Heres mine, they used an intake for a civic for my Accord,

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I don't know if I have the best now, but I know I will have the best setup in awhile....

Here's mine with my custom ram air box made by me







When I get my new Weber DGEV carb adapter I will be running the same ram air intake that I have now and then I will be running a CAI into my front bumper with a air bypass valve on that cai as well.

[HostileJava]

Hey now, these are old pictures.

[BITESIZE]

My cold air is on my cardomain site, it's a 90 integra CAI.

[cdscowboy]

Teggy CAI

[BITESIZE]

cds, that's awesome.

[blazin3gen]

yea cds that looks good!

bah heres my ghetto one...

[cdscowboy]

Thanks fellas... I love the look of it. Someday I'll make it all nice and purdy under the hood with blue stuff like that.

Unfortunately, I don't really hear the intake. I did the first couple of days...and OMG...so nice. Even my roommate noticed the sound, and he's both deft and doesn't pay attention to cars! But after a couple days, I couldn't hear it over my exhaust. So maybe when I get new exhaust, I'll hear the CAI again!

[BITESIZE]

I can hear my intake screaming when it's below 30 degrees outside, especially in the morning when the air is crisp.
