Meee neither....Since 2000....He's just grumpy cause he can't drive a stick shift...

 

you don't remove your relays for anti-theft purposes

 

I usually just lock my doors for antitheft purposes....

 

i used to just remove the battery...

 

Do you think this CAI setup sounds louder than the traditional one that goes in the fender? Since the sound won't be so muffled through the fender? Any experiences/comparisons?


Thanks

 

you tell us. you have an SE with a cai.
what do YOU think?

p.s did you claer your lights yourself?

 

My old setup {hai} was louder then the cai setup i have now..The hai sounded like i had a vacuum cleaner on under the hood at idle...

 

atleast he has something worth stealing

 

hey nice pics

 

way to hit 15! though it does look nice i must say...

 

Well, my Ebay CAI (In Fender) is pretty growly around 2800-4800RPM, then when it hits exactly 5000RPM the sound changes to a real loud raspy kinda scream, kinda hard to describe. I don't believe the sound is the VI switching over, but it may be. It could also be just a certain resonance in the Intake Manifold. I do know that the Injen CAI's on the 4th Gen's sound quite a bit deeper and louder. They don't have that scream though. I believe Matt93SE has a video of a 0-100MPH run in his car. You can't really here the deep sound, but you do hear the loud raspy sound I'm talking about. It's much louder in person, than in any videos I've seen.

 

We all know the sound your describing. How about anybody have that supercharger or vacuum like sound in first gear and only first gear from 900-3500RPM? Then changes to what Duckman is describing further up. That only happens in first gear though, and sounds sweeeet.

 

Hey is there an actual CAI for the VG cuz I wouldn't mind one in my car...

 

yup, just dig on crapbay for it

 

warpspeed makes one as well....

 

dont suppose anyone could direct me to a link that describes in full detail how to make this cai and parts and what not. Cant seem to find it on here. Thanks ya'll

 

This pic shows what you need from this ebay guy for the pipes and how to cut one of the pipes for the under headlight part where the filter is attached...link for the pipe....http://stores.ebay.com/Turbo-Performance the pipe is on page 2 of the above link.The 3" pipe is what you need.


The mass air flow adapter was bought off ebay too..I dont have that link...The rubber connectors can be bought at autozone..$5 a piece,you need 2 of them...

The part of this cai setup that takes a little imagination was the relocation of the battery tray,and cutting the metal out from underneath the headlight so the pipe can fit through..I suggest you buy a smaller battery and slide it toward the engine to make space for the pipe to go past it...You need to have a dremal tool and lots of cut off wheels for the cutting of the metal under the headlight...I have to get back to work now,but will get some pics of the metal cutting for you later when i get home..

 

In these pics i arrowed the metal that needs to be cut away so the pipe can fit under the headlight...

 

sweet thanks!

 

ever since i put my apex filter and removed the resonator i noticed a big improvement in the low-mid rpm range, not much but you can definitely tell the difference.

 

aarrrrrrrr teh Shawns is here

 

Paddin teh post count i see...
