Can someone tell me of a company that doesnt charge for shipping on their CAIs? Id like to get one but heh im cheap and i cant really afford too too much. A Cheap CAI would be cool too (not hte do it yourself ones cause i realy dont want to go that route) Any input would be great.
Thanks

Well, what are you looking to spend? Off the top of my head I believe that any CAI that doesn't force you to do the small cut is probably $150+. With that being said, you can do the custom Civic CAI for a total of $85. Buy the pipe at Autozone, buy a K&N online, buy a Fernco coupler at Home Depot and you're set. Yes, it will require a small cut, but it is only one small extra step outside the other installations. Also, that small notch is down where no one is really going to notice or see it when the stock box is back in. Easy to follow directions can be found in the tech section @ n-body.net
You must ask yourself how bad you want it and its performance. If it means that much to you, why not purchase it for 50% cost and do the small cut? :shrug: I think it is a small price to pay.

Tom you were the one that told me about the accord intake working. I agree with kelly, you do need some sleep. Just go to ebay and search for 90-93 honda accord CAI. It requires a little cutting but there are perfect bends for the CAI.

AMRAAM is referring to the Civic intake that requires no cutting except for a small part of the hole where it goes into the fender well. http://www.n-body.net/tech/
The Accord intake is different in the sense you have to cut the tubing and not the car, and it doesn't use the "accordian" piece on the throttle body side of the MAF.

Here's a thread on making the one out of the Accord intake.

:agree:
I would definitely go with making your own custom intake. Way cheaper and it will still look and perform as good as any other you would buy pre-cut. Why not save a few bucks so you can put the money elsewhere? IMO, I would. :)
