i just got my hs cold air intake, and i installed it as the short stack for now, and its loud as hell!!!
at wot u can tell its there at about 4500rpm, and the instant the needle hits 5000, it just goes nuts,.. its sooo loud!


anyone else get this??

That's a heck of a cool sound, isn't it?

:D ;) :p :D ;) :p

all intakes sound *** same do they??:confused:

I've got the Jim Wolf POP, which is just a velocity stack (think silver donut, and you've got it) and it's loud, but not quite like a CAI. The CAI is so loud because of the piping - that metal tube bounces sound everywhere, where the stock rubber hose abssorbs it. The long tube in the cold set-up acts as a Heimholtz (?) resonator (like a pipe organ) and really wails. The good news is it's a little quieter inside the car because the filter is buried in the fender well.

foreals...dayem...i think i'm orderin' one then...which preferably.. hotshot or placeracin'??...any difference in them two??

I went with the HS because it was available with ceramic coating and several people (ie peeps) mentioned their PRs rusted. Didn't sound good for driving around salty Detroit. Dayem.

anyone else get this?? I just installed a PR CAI. Its insanely loud.

Its even louder than my friends old 12 sec all motor civics intake.

just by judging spaces, it looks like i might need a smaller battery to have the hotshot cai, now its as a wai

i can only be fully sure when i try, but it kinda looks like it wont

any one have measurements of their battery with a hs or pr cai?

I had to move my battery in towards the engine about an inch to get my PR CAI in. Since the battery tray is plastic, it is really easy to just grind or file the mounting holes into ovals to allow for the needed travel.

Yes, the sound is amazing! It was the first performance upgrade I installed. You will hear and feel a positive difference.

im gonna try that
friday im gonna try to do some of it (open the hole and slide the battery)
im in no rush to put in the cai peice yet, so ill take my time
i have to see if i can put a dremel bit on my drill

Enlarging the hole was a pain in the nuts. I went through many a Dremel bit. I eneded up drilling about 20 large holes close together in the right ouline with a sharp drill bit, then "connecting the dots" with the Dremel. That worked like a charm, but required some clean up timeon the hole...

Good Luck!
