Thanks for the heads up guys... it's also good to hear from someone who's got experience with the obx... something you definitely wouldn't find out on a site trying to sell 'em!

:thumbup:

 

haha np, my friend actually gave me his car to install.. he wasn't even there... (he's car stupid and wants altezzas)

but yea, it didn't fit right, and this bish gave me wire loom for the valve cover vent. h:

:down:

 

Shut up... wow... that's what scares me about ebay... I've got friends who get GREAT deals quite often... but they've all been burned a time or two.

So you don't like altezzas either, huh? What are my alternatives?

 

i have the iceman intake...i live in miami where it rains 8 months out of the year...i just got the iceman though, as of right now i have it no the short air b/c it rains every so often now...during the "winter" months ill put back on the CAI and ill be all good..its not "nesessary" for me too have the CAI on everyday...iceman sounds great and it doesnt conduct heat.:thumbup:

 

:down: altezzas :down:

you can smoke ur stocks.. i think that looks

 

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this board that likes altezzas....I've only seen 2 cars in my life that looked halfway decent with them, and thats it. For certain cars, if your car is black, and you get carbon fiber altezzas, they don't look THAT bad...but still stock is better. Other than that, they're horrible looking. And besides, I'm not a huge fan of the looks of 7th gens, but if there is one thing I like about them, its their stock tail lights...why change them??

 

my tails are an alternative. the pics dont do them justice, but they're clears with small red red reflectors to make them legal

 

the power gain differance between short and cold is minimal if anything... short should be cheaper, will never suck up water, and perform almost the same. so i think the choice to go with short is very clear.. just my 2cents

 

i read somewhere that short rams with bigger piping are actually performing better b/c the full CAI has more piping=more friction=more heat, and if you drop your resonator, the air hitting the ram is actually cooler and less restrictive

 

I've saw this on a website when I was doing research for a cheap CAI. The only 2 ways to do it cheaply were the Poormans way, and the CP Racing Motorsports intake on ebay. Thats what I did. Its cheap, and its so damn close to the AEM that I'm surprised they haven't been sued for it.

Its one of the only single piece CAI setup on ebay other than AEM and Iceman. And its DOT approved. It fit like a charm with no mods needed.

Also on the 7th Gen Civic, there was an article/dyno run for a AEM CAI, Short ram, and Stock. The best was the CAI, while the short ram was actually worse than Stock. This was blamed on early designs.
