I was just curious if anyone on the org has gone from the GAB to a shortram or cai? If so, does the intake get any louder. I remember the AEM v2 on my Acura CL used to scream at WOT. The GAB has some howel is definately louder than the stock air box. I just miss the scream of my old CAI and was wondering of the other intakes get any louder?

 

yes, it will be louder with an afermarket alumium mid-pipe+cone filter.

 

on my 00 i had stillen, GAB, and berk in that order. sound was about the same for all three

 

removing the intake resonator (stock midpipe) makes it about 10x louder.

 

yeah i was looking though that the otherday, didnt realize it was such a POS.... time to get a frankencar

 

it was only louder at WOT and above about 3k rpms. other than that it was about the same. I recently made the switch

 

removing the resonator is simply removing the black tubing going into the stock air box right (the one that kinda tries to suck in air out the hood.

 

you have an 03 for you that is correct

 

Louder isn't necessarily faster!

 

ibtl.

 

 

Old thread bumping croo?

 

please explain to us how this post contributed to a 2 year old thread

 

such sillyness


in order of loudness loudest to quitests:
injen/cosmo style intake(looks good too)
short ram style
fender wall intake style(custom as no one offers one for a 5th gen afaik)
gutted air box(GAB)
stock


as said above loudest doesn't mean best but the difference between loudest and best performance is 1-3hp...imo

edit:sooner whats with ya avatar?

 

have you tried all of those?

ive had the Stillen, GAB, and Frankencar...all sounded exactly the same.

why do you ask about the avatar?

 

Spacers made my intake sound really cool

 

ive been saying....

 

I finally installed them after a year and damn they're cool. No whistle, but a lot deeper. And I still need to install the between the elbow and UIM. Did the plugs as well, so maybe it is a combination of that, but holy hell it's got some nuts again.

 

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I can't post new ones yet. I wanted to know what part of the stock air box you can modify to make it louder.

When someone said it gets 10x louder if you remove the stock intake resonator, all you need is a 3" pipe to put in its place and it's gonna be louder?
