What's the deal with the 30 dollar BOMZ cold air for the civic...is it worth it?

 

big debated issue. to make it short, imo spend the extra 50 and get a aem sri and you'll know its quality and it wont f u over in the long run. scroll down and you'll see about 23432432 topoics about coldair.

^^^wrong

any CAI will do the trick. the only difference is fitment. an ebay cai will work just as well as an AEM cai (afterall..all it is is a pipe sucking cold air into the engine). it will just be harder to install because hteyre not nessecarily made for your certain car but for maybe 5th and 6th generations, all trims.

 

i didnt say anything about gains at all. i guess i should have clarified by saying fitment and quality. im just a person that will do it right the first time and wont cheap out, so i guess that doesnt make me "wrong".

 

oh. i see what you're saying now

but if you plan on turboing in the future a fully priced CAI will prolly be worthless and youd want a cheap one off ebay.

 

Filter is the only difference. Get the BOMZ and put a K&N on it... unless you like trash in your motor.

 

yes i agree, if you plan on swaping or F/I, dont drop alot of money into that D

 

I have a BOMZ intake! It works fine and sounds great. You'll need to be creative when mounting it though... it doesn't come with any way to mount it. It came with some hardware that I can't make any sence of.

 

i got an aem short ram. it was sooo easy to install. everything lined up perfectly. and even came with a licence plate frame...

 

yeah, it took me 5 mins to install mine ^^
