my other thread is closed so i've got this new CAI THREAD i was wondering if an ICEMAN cold air intake like this http://www.overboost.com/obs/product/iceman_ACI9495_SM_D.jpg would be somewhat of a (SMARTER) CAI to get for a hot place like florida?...what do yall think?

it's not that it's a name brand (iceman), it's that the tubing for the ICEMAN CAI's are a hard industrial plastic, rather than a aluminum or steel or whatever metal. i live in florida and you'd think that most people would choose ICEMAN CAI's...you feel me?
You start a lot threads :/
it's all about the civic family son!...much luv! no but 4real, would an AEM CAI be good for someone living in florida?...AKA hell!lol. FL or TX, doesn't really matter. If you go with AEM, go with V2.
Its all about preference. As many have said before, just get what you prefer. Obviously, you prefer ICEMAN. I prefered AEM V2, so thats what I got. Seriously, you do start a lot of threads, and while I like to see new threads on the 7th gen, they just take some searching and forethought... Not trying to rip into you, just tired of repetetive threads.

ok, sorry for the same thread. don't worry, i have LOTS of questions. AEM V2 is one of my choices i'd consider. i just wanna make friends here and get alot smarter about my car...i'm not trying to be better than anyone else in here. just making new friends that can help me with my car cause they have the same car. thats all. but yeah, i dig AEM V2 actually, so maybe i'll go with one of those...i just thought that it mattered about which CAI to get for which weather state you live in...
what do you guys think of this CAI?http://racingparts.streetracingshop.com/perf_catalog/images/performance/products/aem/cai-blue.jpg
No. The only thing you would have to do is maybe reset your computer by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. I didnt have to but some people have needed to.Za0G13 said:
As far as trying to figure out which is best, theres about a new thread every two weeks or so. They are all going to give you the same amount of hp (not a lot). Its all about what brand you want, what your goal is, and how much you want to spend. I chose the V2 because I didnt want to get a cold air for water purposes, and I didnt mind paying an extra 100 for the potential of added performance. Plus, no one around here had one, so I decided to be the first. On my last car, I went with the Injen cause it looked the best. You just have to decided why you want it and then what you want...
I agree with racerx661, all intakes work the same....use a little creativity, just because the intake is made of metal doesn't mean you can't prevent it from heating up due to the engine. do what i did, get some insulator and wrap it, it's ghetto but it gets the job done cheap. plus when it's summer, your cai is still going to be sucking up warm air, so it's not like it's going to be big a difference....fyi, there's probably a good reason why your thread got closed.Za0G13 said:

HAHAHA, YEAH, but umm, ok, AEM seems to be really popular and really cool looking and 250 dollars isn't much to spend on a badass cold air intake. ok. anyone of you guys have a good site that has free shipping that i could go to, to order online?
all intakes DO work the same. It's all about which sticker you want on your intake pipe.
Hey LC2ner, could you snap a couple pictures of your V2? I wanna see what it looks like under the hood of 7th gen

yea.. sticker is funnier
250 isnt much to spend? wow, what a world you live in...how about you give me $250 and I'll get you an intake that's coated and has an aem sticker on it. it would only cost me what, 60 bucks? you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.Za0G13 said:
