Sounds like she's doing well, except for a few CELs that seem to be easy fixes.
I had the same issues with intakes as well. The AEM SRI was very loud and very beastly. It was AEM pipe and filter. The one I currently have on, an INJEN pipe with Spectre filter, is loud but not near as loud as the AEM. Difference in design, air flow, filter....I dont know. The CAI on my buddy's TL isnt as loud as I though it'd be either. Who knows? All-in-all, **** looks good son.
Wait so you had an AEM SRI, and now you have an Injen SRI and it's quieter? Seems like they'd have to be the same or close, that's weird. Which one did you have on when you were in Chicago with me? Whatever it was, it sounded pretty good.
btw, saw your Ohio pics on the Book of Faces. What were you traveling through for?
Of course a cai would be quieter than a sri you noob. Lol....
WITH the exception of the v2, which is extremely loud haha
My experience has been the opposite, but really I was just expecting more out of the cold air. I didn't expect it to be V2 noise, but was hoping I'd hear something not TOO distant...and it's not even close. In retrospect the SRI that was on was maybe a little louder at lower RPM's, but sounded too "screamy" in the higher RPM's. The CAI sounds much better at higher RPM's.
I agree with you, the SRI sounded annoying.
^ False. My SRI is way quieter than any CAI I've heard. And quieter than modded stock airboxes with the resonator delete.
Don't know why.... but just saying I feel Chris' annoyance. Wish mine was louder, too.
Yes that's been my experience as well. And what's up with our piddly intake noise?
We have beast intake manifolds, etc...and somehow there isn't much growl there. I've determined, as a result of all this, the only CAI worth buying is the V2. And why does no one else make their own version of the V2? Apparently that dual diameter piping makes all the difference.
Speaking of V2's....they make one for the 3G TL.
CAI sounds great, but a little louder would be nice indeed.
I guess the best thing to do is to get a S/C or Turbo.
lol okay, just like that? j/k I'd like to S/C someday when this car isn't my daily anymore. But who knows, by then I might want a J36/7 in it. Or maybe I won't care about doing anything with the car by then. lol
hey man congrats on the swap. i got a question for you.
if a cl type s motor and trans are swapped in the accord ( like yours) can a stock cl type s harness and the ecu be used in the accord or does it have to be a custom made harness?
You didn't read closely, I am using a TL Type-S motor and 7G AV6 6spd transmission. But yeah if you have the CL Type-S motor/trans/ECU/sensors/dash harness, you should be good with the stock CL Type-S engine harness.
