cold air intake system - Honda Prelude Forum

midnitebluevtec · 12-14-2008, 01:36 AM

does anyone know a good cold air intake system... i have a 94 honda prelude vtir, currently i just purchased a K&N air filter with an adapter, however i get minimal gains, and i notice the sound of the car basically sounds just the same i rarely feel any difference. i was wondering weather if i purchased the K&N ca intake system would make a major difference.

thanks guys

No intake is going to make a major difference.

Just stick with that and spend your money elsewhere.

Cheap power = nos (done correctly)

Other than that, driving lessons.

depends on budget, you can spend $50 on an ebay one or $200 on a AEM V2, your choice. If you are to get a true CAI, be sure to also get the bypass valve AEM makes.

Headers are a good bang for your buck

Actually it's because the honda's intake was already pretty decent. In my inline 6, the intake doesn't do much more or an exhaust.

There is a difference in poorly designed or restricted parts and well designed parts that are hard to improve on.

No they aren't. They're only going to help a higher horsepower application. The stocker breathes pretty well.

yeah intake is just meant to increase engine response, but only slightly, no real power gains, maybe a few horses. im rockin an ebay pipe (was on car when i bought it) but i bought an AEM dryflow filter to go on the end of it since the other was kinda about to fall apart.

I replaced my exhaust... headers all the way back and it made a noticeable difference in power
