well i decided to go with this intake because ive had bad experience with cold air intake on my eclipse. it was way to low and sucked up junk when it rained. so i just decided to play it safe with this car. and no reason for the big ballasts. they were free so i took them.

LOL... you can't beat free. And I got the AEM air bypass valve to help with the water suck-up problem here in Washington state... Hope I'll never have to experience it work...

CAI>SRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will never own another SRI again lol

the filter location is in a safe spot i think, ill get a bypass valve one of these days anyways

[serega12]

has anyone actually done this to their car i heard its reaaaal dumb to do it and better off just buying a blacked out tailights or headlights or just actual film tinting it thru a professional than spray painting after watching this video im almost convinced other wise. they actually turned out pretty damn nice.

I always use dupont clear with black tint in it. Night shades etc are just the spraycan version. The results are not "as good" as true automotive paint out of a real spraygun but with the extra steps can look and last just as well.

Of course black tails might be better but only if they are available in the exact style you want. And feel like spending that amount of money. But I personally just smoke mine. Not black then out.

can you tint them yourself with actual like window tint? i heard its also bad becuase of pebbles and rocks can chip the tint film. since its placed on the outside.....

i also heard alot of bad things about short ram intakes. mostly all honda users such as my husband.
but who here thinks it works just as good as fenderwell intakes. (the long tube ones lol)

[petrified.rabbit]

cold air from the fender well is always better than hot engine compartment air.

switching to a ram air in winter could be an ok exchange, (just take the outer pipe off). but only necessary if you see fueling issues from the overly cold air entering the system.

window tint works ok. but i would use tinted clear bra stuff. its readily available on ebay. and wont chip as easily.

[EvySpeedy254]

thanks alot. ok so is that why mostly intakes usually come in two pieces (the pipes) so u can change it according to season to avoid to much cold air and summer to get the most cold air possible?

learn new things everyday.
