mpearce1974 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 i take it im a dumbass for talkin bout the brand?? lol HAHA! No not dumbass, just not educated on the ins and outs of air intakes! This is going to open up a lot of debate, but screw his Airness! DONOT waste your money on AEM, or K&N intakes! Like I have said multiple times on here, its a filter on a pipe! A fancy sticker will not change that! Buy a Ebay intake throw away the filter, and get a $30.00 K&N filter. Then you are done and save $200.00 bucks or more!

Then you are done and save $200.00 bucks or more! i just started gettin in to the cars 2 years ago and still dont know a lot yet lol. it was only $77.00 to build my own cold air intake from specture (priced it out at napa) with out the filter.have not ordered it yet cuz i wanted to ask if it was a good, ok, or thats the stupidest idea iv ever heart of from u guys on here. iv looked at other topics and past questions. sry if i ask an old question lol. one more question justed poped in to mind since ur here. when i get a full new exhaust done do i need to chip my ecu or get the p28? i have paesetter 4 2 1 header ( i think) and a flowmaster 40 series and 2.25 inch pipe and the shop wants to throw on a glass pack befor the muffler. no cat no resagnater. what do u think bout that??

No you do not need to chip your ECU for a simple upgrade like you have. I take it you dont live in a area that requires emission testing, but do you ever plan on moving?? If you do move into a different area and they require emissions testing you are looking at spending money later on. You can buy a new Magnaflow cat for $50.00 shipped. Also if you run no resonator you are not going to like the sound of any exhaust! Also you can get complete CAI on Ebay for $40-50 shipped, then buy a K&N filter for another $30.00.

SpeedDemon Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 use the insert image button on the little tool bar below the font settings. just get a intake that is 25-45 and get the k&n filter. any intake works. hell mike up there just stuck a filter on his intake manifold for his black del sol lol. and all d series(fuel injected) motors will use the same cold air intake. the one that goes behind the bumper doesnt really make that much of a difference. and it poses a risk for hydrolock if you live in wet rainy areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly you wont really notice much of a gain CAI over SRI. Not worth the risk of hydroloc!! Thats why I wound up eliminating the piping altogether.

Thats why I wound up eliminating the piping altogether. well thats a option i could do lol. i got to get some kind of attachment tho. becides the hydrolock dose is it better than any other cai or sri just cuz its closer to the intake mani but further from the ground??

(cold air) Throttle response is noticeably better, but cold air is always better, however I was also getting 38 MPG in that Sol, and when I had CAI on it I was getting 35.
