That would be killer to get one that replaces the front upper grill. I would definatly get it.[hr]
yup i agree[hr]
Yep... Mugen style. Right behind the front grill. I thought about it, but I'm not sure how it would get around the headlight and battery. Some moving is necessary. The other option is to pull the fog light cover, put a screen in and fit a pipe right to there. This shouldn't be too terrible to do... leave the factory air cleaner box then pull the resonator and run a pipe just like the Injen CAI down into the bumper cavity, only keep running it into the foglight housing. This is feasible.... you might have to add a screen just inside the bumper somewhere to let out any water that makes it inside the piping. Other than that, it should work.

what about aerodynamics? i mean, (theoretically) putting the intake above the point of stagnation creates a low pressure point, thus assuming that teh low pressure zone didnt SUCK air out fo your intake, then would the air at least be lower pressure, thus thinner, thus less oxygen, thus less power than high pressure?

i was looking into this, and the reason i didnt try to design a system was because of the pressure zones. yet people do it....

what part of the puzzle am i missing?

Haha, your funny 3rdcivic ..... you dont know anything about air induction[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] How did you know that it will only work on constant speeds? Do you have a ram air to proove that theory of yours? or have you tested one?[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]I have also a cai and I have already compared them. Ram air does performs well, giving more throttle response and an extra hp........
