The no name CAI pipe you might as well DIY (think there's some guide in the DIY section of the forum)! Gains are minimal - more for look factor IMO

Just remove the stock resonator for sound if that's what you're after (I've done it for the previous Accord Euro and there is certainly more roar when you step on the pedal!)

Can't wait to see the new wheels natnat!

wanna split the filters?

with the diy cai, are there any issues with diy vs buying it? i mean its just a pipe with a filter at the end right....

btw i just got a reply from the sller:

"Hi there,

It's for CU2 TSX. It's the replica of Injen cold air intake. You can convert this into shortram intake.

Thanks and Regards,
Mac"

replica?

for the price its tempting... how hard is it to install a Cai?

the vr g2s come in 20inch!!!!

how much are tey?

alternativly...rota boost...the poor mans vr g2

man if i buy rotas + that CAI, im guna have a complete replica euro lol

Haha those vr g2s are pretty sexy...i doubt they're cheap lol...VR rims, e.g. the TE37s aren't cheap lol.

e.g............http://visionr.com.au/component/visi...detail&cid=361 "PRICE LISTED IS PER WHEEL" lol

i'm still considering which rims i might get...still considering the Rota DPTs..

fyi: new bumper installed guys :D

I was actually looking at the SA67Rs originally...aren't the SA67R BBS replicas? But I do know they're good quality, my mate got a set of these for his FD2 and man they looked awesome...before he TL'd it =_=...They're about 2k+ for a set

i think there is a difference between similar design and replica (exact copy).

i know DTM (made in Taiwan) makes a copy of the SA67R and it's only $1200 a set. Wedsport SA67R is >$2400 I think.

ok so are rotas considered cheap and dangerous copies or decent quality and safe replicas?

also just got offered these garange 19's for $400
what do you guys think? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5267/...63b0b704_b.jpg

I like those vertinis Mr Late, but at $330 a wheel. Might as well get those TSW nurburgrings i linked to for $1.4k

I might buy those filters exodus, ill pm you when i get them for my next service next month.

also ive been seriously considering getting the replica injens, a friend of mine said that for CAI/SRI theres no difference between brands, maybe just the pod, but mostly as long as you have a good setup and the pipe is metal and not rubber like OEM, then its good.
Is this true? should i go for it? :P
