    Default Recommendations?

    Anyone have any recommendations for cold air intake brands for '05 SE-R?

    Also any recommended sites or shops for shopping for one?

    I've been rockin the eBay special for over 60K. They're under $100 and easy to install. Don't pay a shop to install an intake.

    But I want the sticker it adds 1 hp...lol...I tend to stray away from non-name brand stuff for things like cars and computers. If anything the name brand stuff has alil better tubing so that it will last longer...

    I have a bone to pick with someone who sport injen stuff so there will be NO injen parts on my car...none...

    Lightbulb Try this DUKE Nukem

    Try Injen, or better yet go on ebay and buy one of those $50 intakes and put an k&n filter on it. You can also try these websites too:

    www.stillen.com
    www.injen.com
    www.hotshot.com

    But like i said any intake you decide to get go on ebay and look them up in there first, before you buy from any where else, it may come out to be cheaper. Just remember that since you are getting an CAI you will need to be careful with water puddles and the rain. In that case you have three options:

    1. You can get a dry charger for the filter( it's like a shirt for the filter)

    2. You can convert it to a short ram when it's going to rain

    3. You can just go with a short ram

    All in all it's your car, so do what fits you best, just always know the advantages and disadvantages when you are modding your car. Thats just my

    I WILL NOT put anything that is produced by injen on my car (the guy who did my wife is an injen fan)...also on the AEM and Nismo site they make a Air Bypass valve (http://www.aempower.com/product_intake.asp?subCatID=3) thing goes on the intake right before the engine that is supposed to stop water from going into the engine...

    Jeremaih...I was going to going to show you that AEM Air Bypass thing today when I got to work, but you werent here...

    Yeah i've heard about those things, but they still wont protect you from huge puddles of water, like it rains that much here anyway, the dry charger will help out more. as a matter of fact if you get the bypass valve and the drycharger(sleeve for the filter), you should be good to go...... But hey like i said before man, it's your car so do what fits you best.....
