i having trouble coming to terms with paying $500ish for a AEM,injen or other 'name' brands CAI.
(before you ask i want the pod mounted outside the engine bay)

after all its a pod and a pipe?? right??
has anyone got something cheaper, such as;

for $140ish i could have a pipe and a pod imported from the U.S.

anyone had a pipe fabricated for themselves??

looking to buy in the next week or so...

so what are your ideas guys???

btw i have a 94 crx b16a2.

you can make it ur self that will save u money.
but make it to like a mugen design where the length of the pod from the tb is still retained and then jst box it up either using fiberglass, aluminum or this freezer insulator u can get from clark rubber, then jst simply put a flexible pipe through the hole in the chassis where the standard one ran through.
last time i made one cost me about 60 bucks

i want to mount the pod outside the engine bay.

go to like an exhaust shop and buy 3inch madrel bent pipes and a few screw clamps, grommets, and sh.. that holds the intercooler pipes together and build it
