[95st-celica]

I bought a 90-93 accord intake like a couple people suggested on another post and i got it today....wasnt really what i was expecting..i thought it was 2 pipes but mine came in 1...so i took everything out of the box..they gave me the pipe the filter and all the clamps i needed...took out the old box..cut the pipe to fit..n these are the results:







dont know how much HP more its giving me... proably like 3-5...i do feel a nice difference though an she screams up stairs

I bought a cold air intake for the 7afe celica off eBay and it didnt fit at all even after cutting it, now i have this weird set up where my filter is a little less than 2" from my headers, not good at all, SRI would have been a better choice...

Your set up looks hot tho, all you did was get a 90-93 accord intake and cut it? What is that third pic?


Thanks

The third pic is the filter that comes out right next to the grill in my bumper...i can't explain how perfect it worked out...n it made such a difference...DO NOT get the "chromeintakes" off ebay...the one i got i had to cut once but if you cut it in the right spot it works out perfect...type in 1993 honda accord intake...and then go from there..when you say your filter is like 2" from you headers then you must be doing somethin wrong or got the complete wrong pipe...mine is about 2 feet away from my headers...your best bet is to take the extra time and stick it down where your orignal factory intake is...it works the best...you cut the pipe so you have an "S" shape and another pip thats like an 80 Degree angle...the s pipe goes onto the throtle body an the other one goes straight down along side the fender...shouldnt be too hard.

a CAI from chromeintakes, POS

Yea from what i hear they are ****...stay away from them

95st, you say you had to remove the wheel well plastic and you also say you bent it back. Did you just bend it or did you have to actually remove some plastic from the well permanently to get this to fit?

Nice work btw!

good to know Redline. I was looking at those ChromeIntakes ones on ebay also. Sorry to hear it didn't work. : \

absoutly not..i only had to peel it back to get the intake in there...everyhitng went right back together once i was done...i just needed to peel it back so i could get the old box out...theres actually 2 one underneath the car and one in the engine bay...both need to come out...once you put everyhting in then you just take the wheel well plastic and bolt it back up...or in my case it was one nut and i had to slide it back into place

just double checking with ya, im probably going to get the same one you got...but anyway, the one you got from eautosource has 2.5" piping and fit with no problems. thanks

yea no problems and im pretty sure it's 2.5 pipeing...if you get the same exact one i got you'll have no problems if you do it the way i did it...not to mention you'll notice a huge difference....my car when i rev it from about 4k-6k sounds like the infinit's...they got that deep roar too them..its exactly what it sounds like....its pertty cool
