homemade air intake

[SiGSR]

i just took the resonator out and dropped in a k&n filter. i had a ebay short ram and the stock intake looks better IMO(doesnt look CHEAP), but im curious whats the purpose of having the short ram piping? is aluminum more resistant to heat?

Better and more air flow.

I'm guessing it's also smoother.

what does that have to do with anything?
becouse its a B series?

 

[wetcmonkey]

the problem with making it is, is it legal? CRAB numbers and all?

 

[oc_civic]

just get a K&N drop in filter and call it a day..

I live in florida and I work for a police department, maybe its because we dont have vehicle inspections down here but if your asked to open a closed and/or locked part of your vehicle hood/trunk/glove box etc ... by an officer, you can say no unless he has probable cause (which is hard evidence that something is wrong, gut feelings dont count) ... again we dont have vehicle inspections down here so it may be different by you.

an another note - get an ebay itnake or make your own - its all the same s**t .. .some bent pipe with a filter ..

 

[Ross]

This is true in Massachusetts as well and we have yearly inspections.
