I put this together with a friend using the ebay CAI that everyone was getting.

Details:

I used the S Curve pipe, cut 1 inch off the end that connects to the throttle body, cut 4 inches off the other end. Used a 7 dollar 3"-2.5" hose coupler from Oreillys.

Took out the engine bay part of the stock intake, but left the rest on.

I didn't even have to lift the car.

Pictures:





edit: I was hoping for some comments on the sounds and look. I'm not sure if it should sound like that but it sounds good to me. Opinions welcome!

I think it sounds and looks awesome! I ordered an Accord CAI from eautosource too. I really want to do this setup as well. I just would rather play it safe and would rather not invest more money into getting a bypass valve for the CAI.

It says on Youtube that eautosource gave you 3in. piping ? I've heard that they send 2.5...2.75...and 3 in. so far, lol. Would diff. size pipes cause diff sound/loudness? Cause I would really like mine to sound like yours. I can't believe your car sounds that loud with stock exhaust..

Funny thing is, it comes from the engine bay not the back of the car

As for the question about diff size=diff loudness, i am not really sure. I figure that a wider one would, just the same as blowing on a bottle with a small opening would produce higher pitch sounds than one with a wider opening.

To the exhaust/gas thing, I think you are right, but there was an enormous crack in my stock intake so it was either get dirt and **** in my engine or lose some gas mileage for a while...

When you say, have your exhaust done what exactly do you mean?
