this looks good, let us know how it comes out!

 

nice

 

pretty serious gains from this!! thats great to see

 

i just ordered mine a few days ago along with a throttle body spacer. did you get the email that the ETA for them is 6-8 weeks too?

 

I noticed there are 2 different types. What's the difference between them

one is a oiled and the other is a dry filter.

 

i am a fan of AFE products. i have used their products on other vehicles and have loved every one of them! Quality parts and a great rep, doesnt get much better.

 

this is great product, but still looking forward for a better cai.

 

This is the intake i was looking for !!! like so much

 

Are is it good? .. and which one to buy?

- TM-1018P-R or
- TM-1018P-D ?

Should I wait and buy the Injen CAI?

 

you need to WAIT i would be willing to be if you did a before and after dyno with this intake you would be highly disappointed

 

im leaning towards the ice box set up but I really want to hear a sound clip before I buy

 

R comes with an oil based 5-layer filter, D comes with a 3-layer dry filter.

 

mee too but Takeda have 4hp more than Injen.. :S is big for a CAI!

 

Actually I believe Injen reached up to 19hp gains on their dyno tests. But they are advertising the real and consistent number for gains.

Hence Hondatas advertised gains. "up to" a certain number. If you are expecting 19whp from AFE ice box, Prepare to be disappointed.

 

Too bad they only ship to the the states...

 

ok good, thanks

 

That looks like a good intake with really good numbers I would like to hear how it sounds when you get it installed.

Anytime you see a company that says whatever gains you should actually expect about half lol

 

OMG im sorry guys i didnt look at that intake til after i posted that last post but im sorry IMO that thing is garbage i would never use anything like that and i damn sure wouldnt pay $357 for it that thing is not a cold air intake

 

Order showing as picked, so its obviously in stock, but given how far I am from CA, I'm not expecting to see it till next Monday probably. UPS ground, the rest of the shipping options cost way too much.

I'm sure the Injen is just as good if not better, but seeing how tight it is for that piping to fit and get down low, plus having the filter out of easy reach, this seems to be a much easier install and likely less problematic to maintain. Practicality wins out for me, I like being able to take it to a touchless car wash occasionally and hav it blast the underbody clean with water. I'd definitely think twice doing that with an exposed filter down low.

Ndm - just read your post... I haven't gotten an email, but I checked the order status on their site, says "Picked" which typically to me means they've picked the item off the shelf?

 

easy fix dude just turn your car off during the car wash problem solved

 

Ok - confirmed its not ready yet - 6-8 weeks.

RSX2Si... I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Plus I can't see how your custom Magnaflow is going to be nearly as worthwhile as a properly developed exhaust for the Si as far as gains go, so I'm not sure why you're even being so skeptical here. If you're so serious about the gains, then you'd have waited for a properly developed exhaust/CAI (seems like you hacked both together?!). Ever heard of the Comptech (company is now called CT Engineering) Icebox? Great gains in early TL/CLs... this design is similar to the icebox!

 

This intake definitely is what I am looking for. You modding pro's what are your thoughts? I like this one because of the chances of hydralock are nonexistent. SRI's ingests hot air from under the hood, but is this an over-rated topic for SRI's?

 

like i said before IMO this is not a CAI and IMO all this is a different airbox than stock. ya it has a smooth pipe from filter to throttle body and ya it has a cone filter but its still run like stock. very minimal gains IMO not worth $357 whatsoever. my SRI is a great sound and was a noticeable difference. But a true CAI would be better than an SRI

 

ok enjoy the stock life

 

How can you argue this is not a true cai. Just because it gets air like your stock intake? *By the filter being in a box it prevents hot air and water from getting sucked up. The intake tube and filter then creates less resistance allowing your engine to suck up more air. Not only that but the fact that the system was tested by professionals means your engine isn't going to be running lean like it would with a homemade setup with any random filter. **

 

hmm im going to say IMO it is more restrictive than a true CAI. you think that box isnt going to get hot? plus its not a smooth airflow its 2 seperate pipes that arent connected running in to one box just like stock. IMO (because i have to say that every sentence or people talk shit) more power comes from more air and smoother air (hence the throttle body spacer and other similar things) and IMO this intake will not give as much air or as smooth of air as a true CAI. which is why IMO it is not worth $357 and it is much more conventional to save money and still not have to worry about hydrolock by just getting a SRI...IMO

 

Does anyone notice that the dyno chart looks like it is on 1.8l 140hp engine.

 

Do you notice, even though there are good gains, it does not break the 160HP mark? But then again it is on a mustang dyno so mustang dynos do read lower.

 

From their website:

"Uses Factory Air Scoop:
Features a one-piece rotomolded air box that incorporates the factory front air scoop that captures cold air from the front of the vehicle."

Sounds like a CAI to me. These guys are new to me, but they seem to have some happy customers with their other products. I would like to see and hear this on a customer car. I am considering this one.
