I am seriously looking to do my first mod.....well for go not for show anyway......what do you think I should get. An injen short ram with extention so i can take the CAI off in the winter or some type of Catback system....if you opt for the cat back which is the best for a 92 si???? Thanks.

Prelude_2_NV, those lights are DOPE! Where did you get them?

To respond to the original post, I would go with CAI. (WITH AN A'PEXi filter)

CAI, I hear it is best to build your way to the back. ie: I, H, then exhaust.

Definitely AEM CAI.

Go cold air intake. It makes a nice sound, but not ALL THE TIME, which is my main beef with exhausts right now. I like when I floor it I can hear the CAI, but when I cruise in stealth mode my car is quiet.

Don't get a short ram extension...winter is not that bad, and that water in the intake thing is just a scare tactic to sell crappy bypass filters....get a full CAI and just don't drive in lakes. A full CAI will get more gains

Thanks everyone and Prelude_2_NV......how much did you get those JDM's for???? I hear they are like 300+ brand new. I woulf love if you could hook me up with a set...they would look hot on a white lude dont u think?

they are more like 600 plus for brand new dude!!! its insane what they want for them. On ebay you can find many used ones, but be prepared to shell out 400+ with shipping.....BUT they ROCK!

aren't Apexi filters hella expensive?

SiR-P12eLude · 06-07-2002, 09:27 PM

Agree go get a cold air intake first.. start off slow then work your way up... dont you want to hear the sound of that intake before the sound is no more when getting a exhaust..... for intakes go get the new brand that's out a CHECKPOINT....
