2006 (cold air) intake questions

[JohnnyBravo]

Does anyone have a thought on cold aire intakes? Does it give more hp+? If they are worthy....any brand beeter than others? Any installation concerns?:confused:

I don't believe anyone really makes a CAI designed specifically for the G2 CR-V. If you find a no name one on eBay it will be junk.

I have an SRI on my G2 and I don't think I really gained any power but it does sound a lot better.

Check this thread out, I did a quick write up:
G2 K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake - HondaSUV Forums - Discussion forum and bulletin board for Honda CR-V, CRV, Element, Pilot, HR-V owners (http://www.hondasuv.com/members/showthread.php?t=31402)

Try looking around THIS forum first. Use the search function and look for "K&N" or "K&N filters". You will find plenty of information and references/links to outside information. The info here is just as good and just as complete as any other forum.

Ummm, okay? :confused:

There is nothing wrong with looking elsewhere for information and it is probably a good idea to do exactly that. The OP is not locked to this forum, and this forum only. That is like saying “Shop only at Wal-Mart because it has everything you need, why go elsewhere?”.

I merely suggested he look at a thread that I posted for more information on the K&N Typhoon SRI. I do not see a problem with posting a link to a related subject just because it is from a different forum.

The information is here on this forum. Why should we ask someone to go to another forum?

Search terms: "Cold air intake"

Results:
CR-V OC: 13
hondasuv.com: 140

I am not trying to start a war of which is better. I am just pointing out the fact that you should never go to just one source for information, if we did that everyone would be educated by wikipedia. :rolleyes:

I believe he mentioned to look around this forum first because..

1. He was already here
2. The info is here and not there...

I have put about 200,000 (combined) miles on vehicles equipped with an intake running a K&N cone filter. I have never had a single problem, ever.

Wow!
1. I came to this forum becuase I have a 2006 CR-V.
2. I read thru the forum first looking for answers.
3. I didn't find an answer to my question.
4. I posted a new thread.

If I can't find the answer I'm looking for on a subject.....chances are someone else can't either. So can we get back to the matter at hand?

:eek:

My/our sincere apologies for involving you in our exchange on forum etiquette.:o

The reference given in post #7 by "2RedV's" is probably the best because it is "thoughts" direct from Honda.

You may wish to take a look at: ISO 5011 Duramax Air Filter Test Report (http://home.stny.rr.com/jbplock/ISO5011/SPICER.htm)

There are additional threads on the forum as well. I picked a brief sampling.

Thanks for the great info! I'm just looking to squeeze all the hp I can out of this motor.

Also, I don't give credit to honda's opinions. I had an Acura Integra GSR (bad A$$), I ran a header ,cold air intake and SS cat back exhaust......with noticable hp increase and never had a problem. I also used redline and amsoil fluids.....again not a problem. You really have to do your homework though and remember that honda wants you to use their products.
