Cold air intake kit

[R08813]

What is the best cold air intake kit on the australian market????

[toE]

i think it'd be hard to say what is the best rather we should say what is the most commonly used.

my 2c.

K&N seems to be d popular one, but wouldnt know if it's the best.

[R08813]

ok, im just tryin to get some opinions on various brands to help me decide on which one to get. so any information/pros and cons, on various brands and where to get them would be appreciated

[A'PEXi]

there isnt a huge difference between aussie made ones if there are any??? i know the custom ones made from exhaust shops do the job ok, as i've got one of these.....

if you look into the k&n/aem/injen ones are prob more advanced in terms of quality/material/colours/fitting etc... but $$

[Usual Suspect]

AEM is said to be the best in the world, better airflow and all that.

but i rekon for our accords...u dun have much to play with..that is..u can't rev them high enuf..therefore..i rekon its better to get a panel filter rather than a CAI coz u loose low end..and achieve top end..but only after 4500rpm, *roughly*

jus getta panel filter..*my opinion*
u get abit at top end ...4500rpm plus..but get more from 1-4...and thats where u drive ur car more often...if ur racing everday..thats a dif story.

my 2c


hope this helps

Yeah, when I got my K&N CAI for my car, I lost a bit on the low end RPM.. But I guess the extra $bling$ $bling$ from brand names goes to the quality and finish and the "brand" like Apexi mentioned..

ive got a simota CAI in my 5th gen... basically the same as the AEM one except the pod sits where the airbox is, instead of where the resonator is. still to build a box for it, but its coming along

EDIT: prices also differ. i got my CAI kit for $130 (i think they retail more... not sure. it was over a year ago tho.) the last time i looked at the AEM one for the 5th gens, it was sumfin like $500. i just cant justify payin $500 for a CAI... i could prob make a better custom one for half the price.

ive got a simota CAI, it is the 2 piece one where the filter sits outside of the engine bay in in front of the wheel arch splash guard.

Sounds phat, sounds reall ferkn phat above 6500rpm.

[poid]

basically the best ones on the market tend to be the AEM etc. They charge so much because they did the R&D on them to make them the right length, resonance etc

However even just a simple CAI should produce gains if you make sure they are only drawing cold air

[vtecinaccord]

Get a AEM V2 they are expensive but damn good, the are also cold air which is even better...
You can even get them from American Ebay alot cheaper than normal retail..
