Installed my SRI
So I finally installed my BomZ SRI with an AEM Dryflow filter today. I've had the SRI for about a month, but I just got around to buying the AEM filter and installing it today. Here are some before and after pics:

It only took about 30 minutes or so. The small rubber hose for the breather valve (red in the pic) was way too long so I cut a length for the breather valve and I sliced the rest down the middle and wrapped it around the A/C line to work as an insulator so the metal intake never comes into contact with the metal A/C line. I doubt it was necessary. It doesn't look like the intake tube will ever actually come into contact with the A/C line, but I wanted to use that extra tubing for something
I was surprised with the sound. I guess I was expecting more of a high pitched sucking sound. However it is only really noticeable over 3k RPM's and is actually almost a low grumble. Makes the engine sound more powerful.
Overall I am a satisfied customer [sm=smiley20.gif]
P.S.my engine has almost 120k miles.

RE: Installed my SRI
I'll have to admit it kind of does in the higher RPM ranges. I was totally not expecting that kind of sound. Of course I only went on a short test drive. I'll find out how she really sounds/performs tomorrow on my trip to and from work. I have a feeling I am going to be wanting to get on the gas too much to hear it, so my gas mileage might suffer[:'(]
I already need to get my oil changed again too[:@]. I have put over 2100 miles on her in two weeks! I bet the oil change guys are going to look under the hood and be like "what the...when did you put that on?"

I did too. The AEM instructions said either do the wrap thing or something with radiator...whatever it was seemed like too much work. So I just did what you did.
P.S. i'm about 300 off of 100k...i'm gonna try and snap a picture when it hits the 100,000 mark =p

I bought the car with 104k on it. I swear the engine was clean, but not that clean when I bought it. I had the t-belt & h2o pump done at a Honda Certified shop and I think they cleaned up the engine. I didn't ask and they didn't charge anything extra for it, but when I looked under the hood I was thinking "It wasn't that clean before!" Gotta love those Honda Certified shops I guess[sm=smiley20.gif]

By the way, did anybody else put some tubing over their A/C line?

RE: Installed my SRI
Does the filter tht come with the intake need to be replaced? Not becuz its old, but for better filtration.
A guy looked under my hood and said "Nice paper filter" in a mocking way. So it left me thinking....
