i always here people talking about how CAI's sound nice.

how do they sound any different from short rams? i don't see how there could be any difference in sound. enlighten me.

 

[MugenPoweredLude]

i know when i put my CAI on the VTEC engagement was louder you could really hear it...i never heard a SR or have one so i wouldnt know

 

[DudewithaLude]

in general, CAI has more of a sucking sound, while the SR produces a deeper tone than the CAI.

i noticed when I swapped out the short ram for a cai, that the short ram would be a lot louder than the cai, especially when in VTEC :bigthumb:

 

[Absolut]

Its partly because the short ram is in the engine compartment and the CAI has the filter on the ground, on the other side of the car.

If you stand outside the car, on the passenger side, and have someone revv the car, they sound just about the same, with the CAI being a slightly lower tone.

my dragon intake is loud as hell...when i popped my hood at a meet peeps where askin me to rev my car so they can hear it and they were like "damn, thats freakin loud" :bigthumb:

I never realized how loud my SR intake was untill I put my stock one on for a while. A short ram realy talks around vtec, and you can hear it suck when you blip the throttle.

you can hear it suck when you blip the throttle.

yea, i get a really loud sucking sound when i shfit gears at high RPM's :bigthumb:

 

[TranceAZN]

Short ram is louder than CAI. But the CAI gives you a bit more gain. Minor trade-off, hehe.

 

[khilgers]

^^minor trade off I'd rather have power than sound

 

[concLude]

I honestly still think the AEM CAI's are pretty damn loud.

 

[MadLuderX]

conclude u post whore! you're loud!

just remove the resonator and get a K&N drop in or

get the ebay knockoff! hehe

 

[G_Loc]

na, removing the resonator doesn't compare to a real intake...

i put a stock airbox in mine w/o the resonator and it wasn't as loud

 

[MadLuderX]

just as long as it doesn'w whine and such.. unless u want that, but yeah deeper tones r not as ricey....

oh well

No, but its hella louder than with the resonator. I had this for awhile. Just the resonator is much deeper than a CAI, but the CAI is definitely louder at VTEC. I love it.

Get a Type-S if you don't like the sucking sound

 

[MadLuderX]

did u guys have a hard time removing the resonator?

 

[G_Loc]

took me all of 10 minutes when i did it last year

 

[khilgers]

I second that :bigthumb:
