Air Intake Mod Idea .. (4gen) - Honda Prelude Forum

I am sure this has been done before,

But I'm thinking of going back to stock w/ my intake.
Reason being is I've heard the engine is LOUD with an aftermarket intake .. I've got a weapon-r w/ K&N cone on it ..

It's pretty cheap, i was looking at the box and it didn't say weapon R on it, but theres a weapon R sticker.. I'm beginning to think the person I bought the car from rice'd a cheap piece of thin pipe (that isnt really shiney anymore and has swirl-scratches ALL over it) and put a sticker but anyways.

The resonator box in the fender ... If I were to remove that and use the stock airbox, besides the fact the filter isn't high-flow, wouldn't this be similar to using the present setup I have now where the filter's beside the battery as one of the cool-air box's people have been making??

Whats the skinny on doing this ?? cool air being drawn up from an enclosed box from the fender and into the intake, made of plastic but not a big of a pipe as a weaponR ram or AEM cold air ..

Ok .... So I did some searching and found this :

Which looks sweet, now if I run a type of tubing similar to this and get a mount etc. (Brakeing bumper mounts I think ?) and run this up to where the resonator USED to go ... I should have a ram air type setup with the stock airbox which I hope would deadon a lot of engine bay noise ...

Stock Intake and airbox, removed resonator with the above weapon-r type setup.

Would this be effective and is it a good idea??
The only thing I can see vs. an Intake is the cone filter being different, but it would be more quiet I assume?

See the link in my sig for some ideas (cold air box photos).

aftermarket intake is not that loud, until you floor it, then you can hear it...but then again its really not that loud then
