CAI diameter? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #37807 5 posts Started by bdog_v
-Well now that I have installed the 3" cai intake I would like to install one that matches the diameter of the old intake tubing. It looks to me that the factory intake is about 2.25" to 2.5" depending on where you measure it.

-Now here is the question who makes a CAI for the 90-93 accord that is 2.25" or 2.5" diameter most of them on e-bay don't list the diameter and they don't respond to my questions!!!!!!



-Also has anyone noticed any lack of throttle response with a 2.25" or 2.5" CAI? I do with my 3" setup that is why I want to switch..THanks guys!!!!
i think most accord cais via ebay are 2.5 for the S and 2.75 for the L
Interesting for all the listings I see on e-bay they all seem to say for all accords. They don't seperate the systems between the S and L class. Unless I am missing something...... Any ideas.....
i think he means the "S" shaped pipe and the "L" shaped pipe.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
-Well I am even having a hard time finding a air filter that has a 2.5" inlet. However I did find one for a motorcycle on e-bay that I think would work.

-However, is it not neccessary to make the filter smaller, if I run smaller tubing out to the filter so it would be 2.25" tubing to a 3" inlet filter with some sort of adapter on the end to make the filter fit. Or would this larger filter flow too much air and still screw up the throttle response???? I'd rather not waist my time and have this not end up like I'd like it to be, since the last adventure was not a total success.....
