yeh thats the one, might pay to give em a ring first, save u traveling down and not get what u want. let me know how it goes :)

Thansk 89civic, I was around the area last saturday and drop by.
I found something like a round piece of foam(like a disc) that I will cut to fit in between the spacers and the mesh.

thanks

ok good one, i was thinking of doin this. let me know how it goes! if it goes alright i might do it to, i have a k&n pod on the end of the intake pipe and took the filter out of the air box.

ps: how much was the foam?

Yeah, I have the exact same current setup, will let you know how I go.
the foam was $12

Just got the setup done yesterday. Not sure if it makes a big difference but the intake is surely louder, I can hear it sucking air while driving lol
going to leave it on for a while before going further with the spring cut

Now, I've had the current setup in my car for a few weeks now. Not sure if it's psycholigical thing but I don't feel the car being at all faster. I even feel it might be slower than what I had. The problem is that now, at full throttle, the noise of the air sucking is very loud, louder than the acceleration. When I had my CAI on, you can tell that when it groans! the speed was getting faster where as now, the air is being sucked but the acceleration doesn't match the noise output. Anyone feels the same ?

take a pic and show what was ur previous set up and current set up .. qanna see

old setup is simply a CAI, metal tube from air box linked to a pod filter with heat shield.
new setup is remove all the above, air box still there, remove the cover at the back and placed two filter element between mesh and spacers.

well i cut the springs 2day and did all that is said in the first post...

very good, noticable response difference and much better top end power

sorry to bring back an old thread and i'm probably asking a stupid question, but has anyone tried the setup listed on the first post of this thread except with the intake hose still in position, as well as a bonnet scoop?

try tuning or get bigger jets. with all the air it's sucking in it might be hungry for fuel.
