Road To CAI(Installed)(RoadTested)

Here It Is!

K & N Typhoon CAI For The Euro Accord Installed...

Installation Time : 1 Hour 30 Mins including smoking and drinking breaks
Ease Of Installation : Easy
Looks Department : SEXY
Noise Department : Suction noise high at warm ups due to higher revs, slightly higher over OEM at operating temperature
Revs : Loud and Nice, changes the exhaust note until it sounds like a slight fart now LOL :D :D :D

ISSUES : Positive Battery Cable rubs against the SRI pipe..:(

Edit:
*ROADTEST*
Car sounds fantastic and loud at 3000RPM upwards and at WOT, no such thing as a quiet interior anymore. Slight interior drone felt. Massive drone at high RPM with WOT.
Seems to lose out a bit on the low end power.
High end revs are fantastic, revs more freely
Low end with WOT sounds better over OEM.
Piping still cool at the end of the Roadtest


Overall impression = 9/10
Lost one point to the fact that cleaning the filter is not easy.... :P

Come up a treat! Good job

can you post a pic of the car front on?.... and a pic of the engine bay whole?.... would water get to the filter through that hole?

Nice one :)

I can say that it sounds pretty much the same for the lude also. I installed mine about 2 months ago and phwoar, the difference in engine noise was awesome.

Thats the intake done....now just need to do the header and exhaust :D

You won't be able to see any difference front even though I cut out the cover as the filter is black.

The filter sits directly behind the cut out and yes, there is the issue of water running into the filter and that's where the DryCharger comes in, it supposingly stops the penetration of water, how I do not know but I will check it out when I take it out for a clean :)

I will post a photo of the whole engine bay up as requested.

Yeah it's the black sleeve that goes over the filter....

It only prevents loose water or droplets.. I don't think it stops water in a flood situation LOL... I'm gonna have a play around with it the next time I take it out for a wash..

I got Rocket Industries to order in via air freight for me, the kit is AUD$380 including Tax and GST and cost nothing for freight as it will come with other orders they have(Around 6-8 weeks delivery). I asked for air freight which costs AUD$100(less than 2 weeks)...

I've spoken to them and they said they can do something for group buys..
