naw dont waste money on paying a mechanic, do it yourself dude! its quite easy and only requires some basic tools. this was my first and only mod (for now) and although im a newb with car engines it was pretty simple to instal

Booohahaha · 04-04-2003

thats a sweet mod
too bad i got a short ram
the easiest mod to do is when u change the filter on it hahaha...so easy!!

injen cai requires a tiny bit of cutting...
it goes somewhere underneath the right headlight...

$400

nme3 · 04-04-2003

yah some people say you need to cut a piece of the fender wall, but i was able to squeeze the tube in without cutting. taking off the front bumper helps alot to.

Smartidiot · 04-04-2003

so r u guys saying that if i can do it by myself, then a Injen CAI woudl cost me 400 dollars?!?!
does that inclue the tax yet!??!?!

GaGu · 04-04-2003

get AEM!!........ just my.02

Dr5D · 04-04-2003

do it yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Booohahaha · 04-04-2003

nme3 · 04-04-2003

how about AEM SRI...he!he!he!

nme3 · 04-04-2003

yah all good intakes, but personally i like the placement of the injen cai

encased behind the bumper and away from the radiator/engine bay so it stays nice and cool.

Blkcivic · 04-04-2003

No get a no name for 100 bucks, it all works the same man!! but make sure u have a good filter on it, 400 bucks for something that give u 1hp more, not worth it. install is easy, just need to be brave and have a little muscle

FlippedOut · 04-04-2003

installing the injen definately requires removing the bumper...

personally the position of the filter, injen over the aem.. feels safer...
on the other hand.. aem carries the bypass valve...

yeah expect $400...

Smartidiot · 04-04-2003

um.. i never did any of installation by myself before.... dun wanna screw it up or i'll kill myself!!!

100 bucks for a no name brand?!?!? .. is it safe !??!?!?!?!
i mean... isnt it gonna break down my car or do anything bad?!?!
and by syaing to get a good filter.. do you mean that i should go get a K&N filter or something + a no name brand intake system!??!!

AzimuthX · 04-04-2003

Okay I'm skipping all your replies

I'd recommend Autobas Peformance to purchase your Injen intake as you WILL NOT find a cheaper price, if so, complain to Pink! For installations I would recommend Kustom Sport Racing Development as you will not find a cheaper installer. He is professional, has his own drag car and knows his stuff about Hondas due to numerous engine swaps.

Injen & AEM = CARB = Can be used to fight in court if you get a ticket.

txtadik · 04-04-2003

I'm sure you can install it yourself with the right tools... but since it's the injen cai you're talking about, you'll have to remove your bumper...

buuuuut i would suggest getting some form of SRI instead of a CAI for your auto... seems to work better... if it's an SRI you're installing, i might be able to help you out with it if you want

as per previous threads and post
"you get what you pay for"

its' up to you...
if your not confident in stalling yourself...

$60 midland and finch area... not speedtech

but there are other local shops that will do it for you there...

Blkcivic · 04-04-2003

K&N is good filters and i think 100 dallor intakes is safe! how can it not be??? neways yeah listen to the expect cause i don't wanna be blamed. lol

AzimuthX · 04-04-2003

Yea I wouldn't mind helping you out if like booo or chai or pink or whoelse is there.

Its can be a 1.5 hour job for an amateur.

nme3 · 04-04-2003

^^ ahhh yes that is also another important point to remember.

KSR is the place to go!

AzimuthX · 04-04-2003

Generic Air Intake Systems ARE SAFE. The difference between AEM/INJEN with a GENERIC air intake system is that AEM and INJEN research about their designs, they are also CARB certified, with Generic air induction you will not get a CARB certificate. Indeed you need a K&N filter for maximum performance, Injen and AEM includes the K&N filter so that slike 240 already, so basically its $140 price difference. There are thermo resistant paint on the piping so the air is cooler.

Blkcivic · 04-04-2003

arrrrr! don't spend more money gettin it install, just install it right infront of the store u get it from!!! thy'll guide u thought it, and if ne thing happens just go tell them WTF, ur intake sucks and thy'll help u out. lol just an sugguestion

nice try but that stuff doesnt work in canada
even if u show it to the cop the cop will tell u that US laws do not apply in canada!!!
dont be fooled!!

AzimuthX · 04-04-2003

The cop of course could care less if its OEM or not...

Take it to the Judge, explain the the judge that California has more of a strict emissions than Toronto therefore if these intakes are CARB certified to meet Calfornia laws, than I think it would be appropiate to use a CARB certified emission product.
