looking for a cai for my cl9. anyone heard or actually got one of these?any info on them at all or opinions appreciated. what would be power difference between this and injen and ct and mugen etc..

[felixd]

guud sucktiokn noise. more torque upper rpm low end lose bit of power. choose where it suit ur budget :D

[YBJLS4]

Do you mean itd be a power loss down low from stock? Or from the other systems?

[Simonnn]

Generally you gain more power higher in the rpms with a CAI but gain in the lower rpms with a SRI (Short Ram)

i have one of these on my car, fits perfectly, only thing i changed was the pod filter, and put a k+n filter on it.. but yeh they are good, all the plugs go straight on and bolts down properly and nicely. sounds pretty sweet too

Doesnt it come with a K&N pod? I am interested in puchasing something like this HPS intake as imo the difference between this and an INJEN are probably not worth the price difference :eek:

[noddi]

The difference is quite negligible. You'll definitely feel more response after putting it in though compared to stock :)

Looks like the one you linked comes with a K&N pod filter. And also since it comes in 2 pieces, you can convert into an SRI if you wanted to.

There is certainly a drop in torque below 3000 rpm as shown in the injen dyno graph:

But the HPS dyno graph don't go below 3000 rpm

I reckon go with Injen
-proven track record
-well make
-better resale value
-HPS not that much cheaper

[integral90]

You lose power down low with an aftermarket intake because of the bigger piping

[sodaz]

There's generally 4 types of intakes only (Excluding ITBs):

1. CAI outside engine bay - AEM, Injen, Fujita etc - :thumbsup:Top end :thumbdwn: Worse than stock bottom end, chance (minimal) of hydro-locking engine
2. Short ram intake (no heatshield) - AEM, Injen, Fujita etc :thumbsup: Top and reasonable bottom end :thumbdwn: Loss of power from heatsoak, not legal for street use
3. Short ram intake (with heatshield) - Gruppe M, J's racing etc :thumbsup: Same as above with less heatsoak issues
4. Airbox intake - Comptech, Mugen etc :thumbsup: Best response and power for low to mid end :thumbdwn: Not as much peak HP as other options.

Also keep in mind that 1-3 are also much louder than 4. Which can be both a good and bad thing depending on how you look at it.

thanks everyone.

I've just been looking at these two unbranded cheapo pipes, and would just like to hear some general feedback about them. I'm liking the first one as you have the option to make it a short/long ram, however the second one looks like a better product. Obviously what comes with buying an unbranded pipe like this is fitment issues, so just wondering if anyone out there has purchased a similar product before.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

[felixd]

either one of the should do the job :)

[Lochstar_69]

i have the HPS, and it works like a ripper, and as for resale i wouldnt sell my car with it fitted, obviously is going to retract its value and restrict the buying market, older people generally are not going to be interested in performance gains, if they were are they wouldnt be looking at second hand euros

[YBJLS4]

thanks. went for injen

[rayz]

hey guys, sorry to hijack.

but what would be the best option for low end intake, but the loudest on the market..

[sodhi90]

Fujita F5 CAI, or there is a Fujita replica on US EBAY

[tony1234]

Get Comptech Icebox.Some lowdown gains with a bit of a growl when you hit VTEC.

[sodhi90]

do mean low end gains rayz ? or low end as in price?

[learner]

pm me if you interest

[rayz]

low end gains..

dosen't matter, just wanna know what the loudest on the market is..

[sodhi90]

CAI wont really give u low end , a header will be more effective at that , and maybe a comptech icebox setup

[T.I.X]

Injen CAI is the best ! should consider about it seriously

[Simonnn]

Ended up getting the injen, have it in short ram setup atm and love it :D

[d_evilz]

need a quick yes or no answer.
can this be converted into short ram? i have no idea because it wasnt the full description

thanks in advance.

[Simonnn]

Pretty sure you're good to go with that one, the short piece is used for short ram :)

[Fredoops]

SRI will warm up your engine tho. be warned.

And it's not exactly cop friendly....
