CAI Question

CAI Question
So I'm thinking about intalling a CAI on my VG. But before I do that I want to know about any possible drawbacks it would have. The only one I can think about at the moment is that I won't be able to wash my engine bay without taking off the filter and plugging the hole with something. Is there anything else I should know?

Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. They can get a little wet, just not submerged.

Hey, that looks pretty nice. Would that be the '93 Accord kit? I've read a bit about CAIs here on the forum and some people suggested routing the pipe in front of the battery rather than around it, but I've yet to see a picture of it. Has someone done that? And should there be some kind of shield against dirt and water if it's in the fender?

I figured the little extra cutting, and the 90 degree bend pipe wasn't that big of a deal to route it around the battery.

If you are having gas mileage issues(i.e. crappy gas mileage), then you need to find/fix the issue first, a cai will not fix crappy gas mileage.
If no gas mileage issues, any increase in gas mileage gains from a cai will be little to none, their chief benefit is more noise/growl at WOT, not much else after that.

Do you have a VG or a VE? If you have a vg, the last thing you want is more low end torque at the expense of high end (considering there isn't any high end). Imo it is only practical on a VE since they are already amazing at the high end. The CAI like any intake is a trade-off. One thing gains and the other loses a bit. Stock intake is not the best possible, but it is decent for all engine speeds. All gains are minimal to none anyway. That sounded dissappointing, sorry.
