what year trust destruction?

I probably will wait croninc. I just ordered some grills for it since apparently AEM has no intake for the 08 lx right now anyway. I'll probably just keep doing externals for awhile. Although I may spring for a turbo in a couple months if I land a job with a decent sized law firm. Then the money won't be such a big deal. Thanks for the advice guys.

my bad, didn't realize you have an '08. idk then. i have a 93. lol. lots of aftermarket support for my engine.

No prob. I guess they'll have parts soon enough anyway. And I am hesitant about engine stuff right now anyway. Because if I do get the turbo in a couple months. I'll have to redo anything I put on now anyway. So I might as well wait and get the intake, manifold, turbo and exhaust all at the same time. Otherwise I'm just wasting money on temporary parts. And the car has pep already. I guess I'm content making the car look classier. I need to snap some pics of the tail lights I just put on. And then when I put the grills on.

good choice, work on the appearance now, and then work for power. You could get an exhaust thou because you will need a new one for a turbo or at least wider piping. You will end up spending 800-1k+++ on the intake header and exhaust and see no gains. So I think you might as well just save the $600 bucks for your turbo project. Anyways those grills should look cool and gl with finding a job. Also an upgraded suspension is always a good idea becasuse now matter how much hp you got you can still have fun with it.

yeah, I saw that one aaron. I dunno. Doesn't that one look chincy? I don't think I would trust that.

If you're interested Croninc, these are the grills i just bought. I got both the lower and upper.

Aem v2.

Apostle 08-05-2008 08:02 AM

Have you seen V2 for an 2008 LX? I think I'm our of luck.

FlipHKD720 08-06-2008 08:37 AM

neither will be noticably better than the other, it's just an intake on a 4 banger. Go with which ever one is cheaper, you won't be disappointed.

well if you can't find one, you can always get a custom one. Go to a machine shop, and have them cut out a pipe to the correct dimensions, and get a K&N filter from ebay and put it on your stock airbox.

I have heard of people doing this, but if you are really serious about, do a search about it and gather information on it
