accord cai for gt (pics posted), done! also works for st Options

[j0e_p3t]

it works! got my my cai today and i had to try it out (even though i have to study for my micro test tomorrow). its a lil different than the directions on for the gt. i had to make 2 cuts on the "S" pipe, one on each end, but everything else is pretty much the same. and it sounds so much better/louder than my sri. i love it. it is f-ing awesome. someone should change the sticky.

[j0e_p3t]

[j0e_p3t]

yeah, thanks for posting the how-to. and thanks to everyone else that gave me a lil info. well i finally got a chance to take some pics...

Looks good. You should come to the socal meet this month.

btw get a bypass valve it might save ur engine one day.

[j0e_p3t]

i think that's probably next on my list. especially after all the rain we've been having here lately. and i might be able to go to the meet. but maybe not. my gf's grandpa's 1 year death anniversary is on that day and there's a thing at her house. so yeah... i dunno, maybe.

lol I'll bet the hardest part was ripping out that friggin air box. At least it was for me

[j0e_p3t]

hell yeah... a major biatch. espcially cuz some of the bolts on the bottom of my car were rusted stuck. took me a while to get the box out, but totally worth it.

i may bid on one of these. where does the o2 sensor plug into?? i assume that the accord pipes have the same hole that is required?

[LewFX]

just take out your stock fender box and bottom box and drop in a k&n filter in your stock box and call it a day.

[b1gr3d]

actually i was thinking about doing this. the running a pipe/tube from the holes in my front bumper to the box. anyone ever did this?

you have to drill a hole and use the rubber seal from your stock air box.

j0e_p3t what size piping would you say the intake from racing house is that you got?

[j0e_p3t]

j0e_p3t what size piping would you say the intake from racing house is that you got?

it's 3 inches diameter (kinda lazy to calculate the metric diameter in my head right now). it won't fit in the hole under the fuse box unless you make it bigger, which isn't too hard to do. or you can try to find one that has a 2.5 inch pipe (again, dunno the metric conversion). just ask the sellers before you bid/buy. i bought this cuz it was the cheapest.

[sugarfree]

I need to buy one, the stock pipin is cracking and crap. Ill buy one off of ebay, but shippin is a killer $30. Joe p3t, how much did you get yours for?

I recently installed an injen short ram intake on my 97 st. I had to buy the gt version. the problem im having is figuring out where the two hoses go there is no breather hose from my stock airbox to the valve cover. right now I have the hose on but I plugged it. is that gonna be ok? and the vacuum hose on the bottom is plugged to im not sure where the vacuum hose is I see on the back of the intake manifold theres a spare plug in that's just plugged would I run the vacuum line to that? if not is it ok for the two hoses to just be plugged everything else is fine.
