Default AEM Cold Air Intake

Does anybody know when the AEM cai will be available for the Z? I have been to numerous sites and it seems like some are already on sale and some are only on pre-order.

bolt on RSXs run low 14s and probably high 13s soon, don't really think they are stupid, just not as productive on some cars. Ask LS1 guys about bolt-ons and if they think they are stupid.

I was being sarcastic

I just want to know Zthirtythree's logic as to why he thinks bolt ons are so stupid . I'm sure he's reasoning isn't all that great.

no I can answer that fo you, its simple really, heres a little math.

FI is the only mod worth doing right? well aside from nitrous for the quarter mile crew, lets talk real racing tho.

the Greddy turbo is currently producing around 100hp, and runs about 7000$ give or take after instalation. that is 70$ a hp.

now take the shitty intakes, 4hp for 250$. i mean damn, that 61.5$ a hp.

so now you should understand why intakes are a stupid idea. cause I mean... well wait a sec; these numbers seem to prove SOMEONES been talking out of their misinformed ***...

owell, have a nice day.

you guys all must have intakes cramed up you asses

im just trying to discourage all of this dude-i-got-my-new-cat-back-pipe-on-my-otherwise-stock-civic-lets-go-race mentality.

an intake might give you 4hp, but so does driving in cold weather. you get about 1hp for every 11degrees. so you just have to move from LA to northdakota. thats a real cold air intake. foo!

he probably just misses his civic. Actually he's from northdakota, he's just bitter about not getting as much sun light as we do .
bolt ons is a universal thing, any kind of car owner does it. that would be boring if we just left the car stock, cleaned it when it's dirty and change the oil when needed.

He's here for a reason, cause if he didn't believe in bolt ons or fixing up cars, then why come to this site?

Do a search for his posts and you will see he has pretty much been talking smack all over this forum. Insults and name calling are the name of the game. In a perfect world he would just be ignored, which is what I will do from now on.

Bolt-ons are good and bad, like the DC Sports CAI for the RSX is very good, since it adds 20HP(!) to the wheels, but then some bolt-ons like fart cans on hondas are just stupid. Also, bolt-ons to a certain degree doesn't really do THAT much, most intakes + exhaust + header = average +10HP, but will cost about $1000, $100/1HP is kind of expensive.

Isn't this the same guy that was telling us that turbos are stupid, and NA is the way to go? And now he's telling us bolt-ons are stupid?

One more pointless thread that is going nowhere. Well, then I find it my civic duty (no punn intended) to comment also. Have you all read this far? Wait, I forgot to insult someone for their opinion....idiot....OK, now I feel better. Oh, are you still reading? I'm just babbling now, so no need to spend your time here any longer. I'd keep going, but am running out of senseless crap to say. Guess I'll go read some other crud that goes nowhere, but now I feel better that I contributed. Kinda dissappointed I couldn't find more of nothing to say, however....this was shorter than expected. Oh well, good day.

Can someone ban that Zthirtythree troll already? Do a search on his name and you'll understand.
