CAI off Ebay?

Makav3li · 04-13-08, 02:49 AM

Anyone bought a CAI off ebay?

How easy are they to fit and do you have to get the exact type, for example
eBay Motors: ACURA TSX/LEGEND COLD AIR INTAKE+FILTER 86-90 91-95-07+ (item 310038229032 end time Apr-10-08 16:24:31 PDT)

I personally wouldn't get that "flex" tubing. Lots of members here have the Weapon-R intake...I have one and it works great.

Muffo · 04-13-08, 03:53 AM

flex tube is a very bad design for an intake. it goes against every basic rule for an intake

If u do decide to get it let us know how that goes, or jus let us know what u do decide to use, i too was keen on a similar item but thought id keep my eyes and ears open till i could find the best that money could buy, so far theres alot of talk about the Weapon R intake that has caught my interest

Bull shit....OG members on here have been using dryer hose as intake piping since 2002

l4zy415 · 04-13-08, 02:50 PM

Gabe right, a lot of people I know used dryer hoses. I wonder if they are good though.

*sam o nela* · 04-13-08, 03:20 PM

Im saying that seller is full of bull shit...

"Our PATENT PENDING "Sprial Flow" Tubing allows you to create any desired air path blah blah blah..."

He's an idiot...ITS F*ING ALUMINUM FLEX TUBING...3" = DRYER HOSE!!!

Lol if want to save money, go to your buddy house and take the hose out from the drying machine. You got yourself a free hose.

*sam o nela* · 04-13-08, 04:00 PM

Or a house in foreclosure or something...or hell the back alley of a laundry mat!!! I bet they probably gotta throw those things out every now and then

Ask NuclearSymphony your self... he is the one who created it...

http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulleti...=newpm&u=18162

It looks simular to my set up so It should preform fine, if not better because of the fact that his design has less bends...

Maybe this will help

YouTube - Acura Legend 1990 with cold air intake 0-80

I won't presume to tell you it will add 5-8hp like K&N or whoever, but I can tell you that you will hear - and feel - a difference.

Makav3li · 04-14-08, 03:16 AM

Thanks for the input guys, I was just wanting something easy to attach, wit minimal fiddling. Might take a look into this thing called Weapon-R
