I need help ASAP on this intake!!! - 10/17/2006 10:34:36 PM    rickydelcid Posts: 39 Joined: 7/24/2006 Status: offline Yo, whats up everyone. So yea, im looking to buy this intake system off of ebay for like $30. Its cheap and 'm NOT looking for a performance enhancer. I just want the sound of the intake. I was wondering if this certain intake is any good. I really want one really bad and im ready to buy it. I just need to know if it will sound any good and if its realiable. Im SOO READY to buy it right now but I want some feedback on it ASAP. thanks a million. (Rememeber, i just want it for the sound, not for performance.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-06-Honda-Accord-V6-LX-EX-Intake-Cold-Air-Kit-04-05_W0QQitemZ330038146275QQihZ014QQcategoryZ38634QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem BTW: I drive a 2004 EX-V6 sedan Post #: 1

Mine cost a total of $30 dollars thats including shipping. So far, I'm happy. I've noticed a little more get up and go and yes there is a definate sound difference especially at wot. I do wonder what a 'real' intake would have given me though... Still, no regrets with my ebay intake. _____________________________ You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. 95 EX Auto OBX 4-2-1 Header Type R Strut Bar SRI 174k miles (in reply to rickydelcid) Post #: 6

Another thing though( i might sound stupid saying this but this would be my first project) why does the intake system come with a large metal pipe? doesn't the stock one only run about 10 inches? isent it the black rubber hose? A picture of one would be very helpfull. I just need someone to help me out with this one question and im buying it. i really want to buy it right NOW! Thanks! P.S. im installing it myself so wish me good luck (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 9

ALL factory intakes have resonators to help silence the engine at crising speeds. Aftermarket intakes remove those restrictions. _____________________________ Jesus is Salvation White 2002 Acura CL type S. 68K and change Criminals thrive upon the intolerence of society''s understanding.....and political correctness (in reply to rickydelcid) Post #: 11

RE: I need help ASAP on this intake!!! - 10/21/2006 1:30:36 PM    sir_nasty Posts: 6303 Joined: 2/23/2006 Status: offline sounds like you installed a Cold Air Intake and not a Short Ram Intake... Cold air can take longer to install, short ram intakes are a breeze, the reason the pipe is longer is because it removes a bunch of intake crap and actually puts the filter a tad farther forward from where your current filter is (in most cases) _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!
