all intakes suck....in air.. :chuckles:

depends on you if you want to spend $300 or $30 for a filter on a stock

 

Well duh.... :-P i just thought that long rams and such were better than a box intake. Is the only advandage to the icebox the fact that you don't need a bypass valve?

 

Why the Apexi ws? It has a chambered exhaust design which hinders performance. I mean why swap a stock chambered exhaust for a aftermarket chambered exhaust.

The complete Comptech intake setup will blow any AEM intake off the charts. You can quote me on that. AEM V2 is a crock of crap.
It's called a cold air intake, saying long ram sounds funny.

 

i really like the sound of the WS and i'm goin for a sleeper look. the comptech sounded really nice, but got too buzzy for me at higher rpms

 

:goodjob:

 

Carta and Diablo, i know you can help me on this one. I'm assuming the big advantage the the icebox has over the AEM CAI w/ bypass is the fact that i'll get maximum HP gains w/out the risk of sucking in water right?

 

Yes you're correct, also I would imagine that a bypass valve would somewhat decrease the power output of a cold air intake. Incoming air most likely gets disrupted as it passes that valve on its way to the throttle body.

If I only had a penny for every thread I read about hydro locking a motor with a cold air intake installed.

I went with the Comptech icebox myself and drive through puddles with confidence. Here's a picture of my Comptech icebox with a OEM Integra Type R air tube.
That valve cover is just a test fit for a future camshafts and cam gears install.
