obviously depends on how much you want to spend.. diy cheap and effective, or j's whale penis style for expensive but really good..

j's whale penis really all that ?
compared to any ol' CAI. is it the design or psychological ?
how does it differ, i thought the best you can get it a pod getting fed cold air.
i guess j's whale penis is good but depends on d owner of the ride Aem V2 cai is good too bcoz its a long ram which gets cold air from under the fender and has a 4inch intake chamber but u have to get rid of the splash tray 4 ur fender to make it a worth while mod, c wit me i didnt like the idea of removing any items from my car so i chose d Arc air box
j's whale penis is good, if it was always cold..... i had my j's copy during the summer months earlier this year and believe me, performance suffers dramatically on those 30degree+ days.....
I was just going to say!
The j's whale penis is hardly a CAI (as per the thread title) genisis is on the ball.
has it even been tested and proven? cause i really dont understand the design concept.. would it loose velocity.. its like having an exhuast that it 2 1/4 and all of a sudden it goes to 4" and comes back again
my suspicions exactly, whats with the design.
cant comment about how effectively it works, but it works as a venturi so it speeds up the velocity of the air as it enters the intake. so thats the design principle part, it goes from big to small.... not small to big to small.. but then again, thats what AEM v2 does.
for 1/4 mile, imo the cai is better than j's copy from personal experience.
AEM ,comptech air box,trust,apexi
hey
with a short ram..would it be taking all the hot/warm air from the engine?
with long ram would you have problems with it getting wet at all?
btw does a CAI really make that much of a sound difference? im pretty noob with this so i dunno? wat type of sound is it?
yes on take off, u will b sucking all the nice warm/hot air in thru ur filter. BUT when ur car is going, the cool air will make it's way thru the front ur filter will find cool air. i believe if u remove ur resonator tube thingy u will get more air thru from the front. i found that after driving, if u quickly jump outta ur car and feel ur filter, it's cool. hence my stated observations.
with the CAI (long versions), u won't suck in the warm/hot air since it's in the front bumper (hence better for take off) but i have a feeling that because it's there, it doesn't get "as much" air as the short version would hence performance may not b as good as the short version whilst the car is going.
the esprit ek9 has a short version and that thing FLIES!
i haven't noticed any jap race car use the long versions come to think of it...
and pod filter will make a BIG diff in sound. just idling, generally u r ur filter sucking air in like an airplane idling (u know the hissing noise?). then when u put the pedal to the metal, u here an awesome fart noise. now, depending on the type of filter u get, the noise varies a bit. the apexi one gives a very nice racey fart...the sound of quality - i'm abt to order one myself =P
