hey guys,
i need a little bit of help here.
i want to buy a CAI for my car, and i am looking to get the CAI that goes inside the bumper, not the one that sits in the engine bay.
but i am having a hard time figuring out which CAI from ebay goes into the bumper.
the engine is a d16 with the intake at the top (not side)
thanks for the help!
this is what im looking at:

any of the extended ones will go down into your bumper....

A CAI (cold air intake) kit is the type that goes down into the bumper. The other type that has the filter in the engine bay is call a short ram intake.

get a short ram and add a pipe that sucks air into the engine bay... ues its ghetto but does the same thing.. atleast in theory i think it does

I would just get a short ram. A CAI won't make that much of a diffirence on a DX, and you'll have to be carefull of large puddles.

ive herd stories that CAI are useless cuz th air warms up anyways wen it get to the mani, and u can like flood ur engine if u dont invest in a good valve.

i believe he has throttle body injection, hence the top mounting. i dont think you will find one dude.

i have one , cold air.. used... decent shape 40

LEITNER

guess im wrong?

Contrary to many beliefs, a CAI will make more HP then a Short Ram.
When we tested a stock D15 we made exactly 9hp compared to 3hp with the short ram model. Both where 3" models, we made pretty much the same numbers with 2.50" models.
And if your worried about Hydro locking, AEM sells a bypass valve to prevent this from happening.
Not that you should go driving around in 2ft puddles!

do you have a pic? and im assuming it goes into the bumper?

driven905

thats the problem im thinking about ... i do have the top mount one, and most of them on ebay seem to be for the side mount one ...

and ive seen many of then that the filter just mounts to the inside of the engine bay, where the big black box would be ... not going inside the bumper ...

that is because there is not much for the d16y7, you could alwasy change your intake manifold as well.

RDub

you could buy some piping and weld up your own, assuming you know how to weld and have a welder handy..
