IMO that´s a good and cheap alternative to a CAI! All you would need is any K&N style cone filter or even better aTenzo DAC style intake, a flexible alloy tube (with ripps if possible so that water would need more pressure to go through it) and some wires (or anything like that) to fix it in the right position. If possible buy or build something to protect the filter from the hot engine air (like the Green Twister intake does)! Voila...

Well, I think the problem is where does the air filter sit! The stock box is approx 15cm away from the engine, the CAI filter is more trhan 30cm away. I think theres a big difference of the two systems: Lets see the stock one, the air gets sucked in at the same point where it gest in on a AEM one but the flow speed of the air will drastically decrease dut to the filter it has to pass. Due to the decreasing speed it will need more time to go through to 'hot zone'-> the air gets hot! Now the CAI in general: The filter is where the resonator sits, the air gets into it (btw much better through it than through the stock due to the filter) and can flow directly into the engine without another decreasing factor (well i know there are much things wich will decrease the speed but not in the way a filter would do!). I think AEM is also saying that on their website- the main reason for the gain is that the filter lies outside the 'hot zone'.

If im wrong somebody say something!:frog:

Ill try to build one myself- if this fails Ill order one from AEM!

I'm stopping my anti-cold air system stuff... I like the system, how it looks and how a good noise it will give, but I'm still standing behind the points I made. But it will be a long discussion with no end. I just want to mention that imo you must not believe all 'great' horsepower gains the different manufactures want you to believe. Offcourse they only present the optimum results, like with sparkplugs bhp gains (offcourse a 30 year old car wil get some bhp gains with new sparkplugs)...

I´m going to keep mine like it is for now, too! But who knows? Maybe I want one in some months or years!? The only reason why I would buy one is because of the sound and the looks. I don´t care about te few horses it will give me cause my engine is strong enough for me! I´ll concentrate on suspension (which is one of the most important things on a car IMO) and interior styling ( a little bit).

True, you won't get a big hp gain with the intakes. I think it's between 1-3hp wich isn't noticeble when your driving. You might think it's faster, because it sounds faster

That's cool but remember that it's not just speculation and what the manufacturers say. US magazines such as Import Tuner and Sport Compact Car have done dyno tests etc. on numerous products including AEM CAIs and they have shown hp increases on Hondas - Civics, Ludes, Tegs etc. Just FYI

That can be true offcoarse, There shall probably be some good believable magazines. But when I read magazines like Max Power, the magazine looks cool, but everything is great and good and better... they made a comparison of different speaker brand (I know... another topic but just as example)... and every speaker was good, and nice looking, great bass, clear sound etc. All the same! That are no good reviews.
I also have some american magazines (bought at Curacao ), they were much better, deeper in the technology, some testing, modification tips etc.

Well, peace

I´ve decided that if I´m going to buy anything for a better performance it will be the exhaust again (even if it´s going to make my car loud again) because I´m still not sure if I like the stock exhaust with the fake exhaust tips and if I would remove them the two exhaust pipes would look damn small! I want the Mugen system......

We will see what happens

But I fully agree on what G said!

Ill first try to find a shop which will import it but if I dont find one or if it is too expensive could be that I need ur help- thx in advance

MaxPower is rubbish, nothing remotely technical in it. Import Tuner admittedly wasn't great for tech stuff, they just had the Power Pages in it where they dyno tested products, that was good.
Sport Compact Car however, very technical, very good
