ive been told by many friends that the AEM CAI actualy makes you lose HP on the 2007 SI. I guess its been dyno proven that the stock intake is better than the CAI. and i already orderd my cold air so its kind of a kick in the bag. just wondering if anyone ever herd of this?

 

i doubt it. acai should def. open of some of the restriction.

 

it really depends on the quality of the filter.

 

Dude. I am interested in doing the samething to my 07 Civic, so let me know how it turns out.

 

ya ill let you know

 

less restriction /story

 

anything that allows more air=more power

anyone that says something that suffocates an engine is better, should stop talking.

 

Give AEM a call and ask them what they found. Sometimes the benefits or CAI aren't discernable until the temps (both outside and inside) are up there. That's when the CAIs really shine. Most dynos don't mimic real world driving - the hood is open and any air being blown on the engine is far less than when driving on the road at 70 MPH.

 

thanks for the encouragingwords i still havent recived my intake its coming from colorado and im way over in atlanticCanada. i ordered it from Corsport. does anyone here get stuff from them and know if they are a good company?. they have an awsome web page and good prices.

 

No update yet, my intake came in the mail but it was the wrong one they sent me a short ram insted of the cold air. the switch is in process.
