Arash, bro, you getting yourself one of these, or sticking to the stock?

good price too. 40 bucks cheaper than aem.

Great price. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these and the Greddy EVO2 cat-back.

whats the price on that

whats the price on that

$266.76

Took me about 1 minute to visit the link in the first post, enter my car info, and get the price...

i saw someone say that these can be converted from short ram to cold air and vice versa. is this true for both models?

I want this with a Apex-i WS2 or Greddy SP2. Something mellow and not loud.

Arash, bro, you getting yourself one of these, or sticking to the stock?

No clue. Never had CAI on a car.

which one is better, AEM or Injen?

I would go with Injen, but that is more of a personal choice than a substantiated one. I had an Injen CAI on one of my previous cars and the quality and performance were both better than I expected. The nice thing about the Injen is that you are able to convert it from a CAI to an SRI. I don't believe that the AEM is capable of this. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

ok i'll correct u lol. go read the description in those photos, it says that it is designed to give you the best of both worlds. it doesnt make any sense.

I don't see where it says that, but alright.:D I thought that the whole point of the two piece design was that you could remove the lower section of the intake to turn it into an SRI or leave it intact and have it function as a CAI. Maybe my assumptions are incorrect???

No, you're right. You can take off the lower tube and turn it into essentially a short ram intake. It works both ways, giving the most out of your purchase.

nice! so it's finally out. here are some questions:

- any reports of CEL coming up?
- are there or will there be another intake series from injen?
- what does the black version look like?
- any vids or sound clips?

Bruceleroy is running the Injen intake on his I4 and he hasn't had any CELs compared to the Fujita intake that he had previously. But don't quote me on that. I might have gotten it mixed up. I saw it in person though, it's so shiny :lmao:

Nice find. I'm thinking about getting one myself, but are Injen intakes legal?

-GT

Only in California :naughty:

interesting it just mentions Coupe model, I wonder how different the sadan is, I would not think you would need specific model types for intake.
Maybe mounting holes they use are in different locations .

my bad. maybe i saw it elsewhere, i was poking around for info.

at any rate, the AEM is two piece as well, but that doesn't qualify as an either or. they are designed as two piece, likely for installation purposes. if you tried to run it on half the piping, it would prolly throw codes. it's designed to work as a whole, not in parts.

The Injen is designed to work both ways. That's what the MR Technology allows. The car was tested in both designs. I haven't seen an AEM in 2 pieces before, unless it was cut in order to put the bypass filter on. Every AEM intake I've ever had experience with was a full 1-piece. My TL one was a bitch to install, but AEM left it as a 1-piece anyways. 2 would have been nice.

I think im going to order this soon. 12hp and 10tq seems like some nice numbers from an intake.

Anybody find it elsewhere to buy it, besides Excelerateperformance.com tried looking but came up with nothing.

i have the aem, it is two piece, there is no bypass filter. i'm pretty sure injen wasn't designed to be a dual configuration intake.

Should fit the sedan also right? Its the same motor(2.4).

Is it bolt on? I can't seem to find installation instruction anywhere. I looked at "mods" forum, nothing there.
Any idea if it will mess up the ECU or will the air flow sensor adjust to CAI?

Thanks,

Sorry sir.

SP Intake Systems
These Intake Systems Feature the Patent Pending MR Technology Process for Optimal Gains and a Safe A/F Ratio. The SP series does not limit itself to just a Cold Air System or Short Ram System. The MR Technology process has its effects on both types. SP is The World's First Tuned Intake System.

So yes, it is meant to be used both ways, with gains in both forms. The MR tech is tuned for a/f ratios in both methods. It's a patented step-down process that won't throw a CEL, because it allows a specified flow to go through the sensor.

Should fit the sedan also right? Its the same motor(2.4).

I'd look at the picture of how it's installed from one of the first posts (make sure you look at your engine type, V6 looks much different that I4) and see if there would be enough space in your sedan. I'm thinking that the space used, as well as some of the installation techniques are specific to the Coupe. I could be wrong though.

Subject: injen 2008+ accord V6

People are saying this intake can be used in two configurations, as a short ram, and as a CAI. They say that you can use either one length of tubing or both depending on how you want to setup your intake. Is this true?

David

any pros of having a intake and any cons of having one? does it give you better gas mileage?

dsands,

This is what I got back from Injen when asking about both models. For the V6, yes you are right, but the intake IS indeed designed for cold air or short ram configurations. This is not the first car to do so.

1) Is this intake capable of being run as a cold-air system (both pieces connected in the proper order) as well as in a short ram format (using the main pipe coming out of the intake manifold)?

4 cylinder models can be converted to short ram. V6 is cold air application only

2) Do these products work for both sedans and coupes, fitment-wise?

We have only tested the coupes

3) Do you have a color sample for the black models?

Universal color swatch attached

4) Is there any way to give a higher resolution picture for both the I4 and V6 dyno charts?

Attached

my bad, i was looking at V6 only. that's hot!

hmm for 266 and can convert to CAI/SRI for i4? thats good..and the sound that it gives off is nice as well.

The V6 model is what I was talking about. I figured that there would be some kind of caveat in there. I noticed on the .pdf for the V6 it says VCM. I wonder if the gains are the same for the 6mt since it has a different intake manifold or if they are better?

Does this work well with an AT transmission because other intakes havent worked out with Auto,? and i cant find that exact page with the HP increase and Torque inc. so please someone give me a link
thanks

yea works in auto

oh ok, no CEL like others right?

nope no CEL i had it for 2 months already its all good :)

okk nicee, and more power, u feel it, and noise?

hmm really considering contacting injen to set up something for the sedan... 3 quick questions - is this legal in CA?? 2nd will this void my warranty?? - I'm assuming yes and lastly if I install this will this have any negative effects on my car in the future? I'm planning on keeping my car for a really long time :)

I would expect gains to be the same if not higher for the 6MT, but you will start out with better base numbers than the 200whp the auto puts out.

I talked to my local dealer about getting a CAI installed in my car. The only way the your vehicle warranty can be affects is say you have a problem with your car and the CAI is linked to the problem, thats the only way that it would be voided.

So we clarified that this works for both auto and manual transmissions right?

Too bad I'm in Canada and the exchange rate is not looking good. -.-

I was trying to get one in canada, there is an injen dealer in saskatoon so i called them and they had never heard of the part number for the V6. But im thinking they are gonna sell it for around 400-450 CDN judging by prices on other intakes. Kinda getting pricey

indeed... $250-350 would be okay for me... once it goes over that. not sure if i can justify it :(

so with an auto v6 coupe, with this intake (injen) could bring the HP to around 280 WOW

Just throwing this out there...I live 20 miles away from Detroit....im not sure how far your location is from the Canadian bridge if you know what im getting at??? :wave:

haha, the exchange rate is still high though, so payment will still be costly since i have CDN $. can't do much about that really. :( not really about the shipping.

Sigh I want it, as Peaz said, the Canadian Dollar isn't quite working in our favor at the moment. :(

any sound/video on injen CAI for the coupe 5 speed?

ive heard the fujita SRI auto transmission, and i wasnt impressed....

anything?

ha, impressive, injen has done it again, i will surely buy it after i pay off my car

thanx bruceleroy

Two questions:

Where can I buy this?

Would it be difficult for a "noob" to install this? Or should I get it installed?

stupid capitol one said they were giving me an increase and didnt...gotta wait =[

If you can't buy the intake because your credit card is maxed out, not buying it is in your best interests...

If you can't buy the intake because your credit card is maxed out, not buying it is in your best interests...

Second that one... unless you have some zero apr card that you are planning on paying off before they charge you interest...

I know it IS cold air (for the V6) but I don't like how the listing has Short Ram in there... I do like how they have two color options.

Also some have asked about a warranty issue. Please take time to read the Magnusson Moss Act. Basically it protects the consumer from losing their warranty b/c the dealer thinks an intake voids the warranty. The dealer must prove that the part you installed caused an issue.

excelerate . . this is a dumb question but i cant seem to find a add to cart button or buy it now button anywhere . . as well as the price -_- im ready to order but im stuck on this . . haha i know its really stupid but im giving up. Do i call to place an order or how does this work?

Does anyone have this Injen intake for the V6 AT coupe accord 2008 and report no CEL and more power and maybe noise increase, because im very interested in this and want to make sure others with my car aren't experienceing anythin negatiev

Thanks for the link coupe_nasty, I too will order soon.

Black intake ftw!

Thanks for the link coupe_nasty, I too will order soon.

Black intake ftw!

Yeah... I'm between the two colors too. Black is definitely unique and not the "typical" polished, but Idk if I'd still rather prefer the standout polished look... hmm

I'm torn between the two as well. The chrome will definitely stand out, due to the plainness of the engine colors, but that also means the black will blend in.a

That ****s, man.

Has anybody tried this on the V6 models? I'm thinking of buying it but I just want to make sure that the CEL light doesn't come on.

i have order it from Mopac in vancouver canada here....guys from BC can pm me as i have an account with them....they are charging me 305$ cdn for the injen polished

Id love to know if this will fit on sedan:(

ahh that stinks excelerate told me a couple weeks...i ordered it a couple days ago

Honda's thoughts..... if water, etc. is pulled in where it doesn't belong, then warranty will not apply. This isn't a guessing game. It's EASY to prove. Just sayin'......

If you're worried about water entering the Intake, buy a WaterGuard from Injen. They're pretty cheap, and they lower the chance of water getting into your engine.

-GT

from AEM:

The AEM Bypass Valve protects the engine from ingesting water and hydro-locking if the filter becomes submerged in water. Hydro locking occurs when the end of the inlet pipe is submerged in water and the water is ****ed into the engine. Driving the vehicle in rainy conditions is not enough to cause a problem unless the vehicle submerges enough that the inlet end of the pipe is immersed in water. Rain impingement on the filter will not cause a hydro lock condition.

The distance of the filter from the road dictates the level of water that can cause damage. This distance varies with the vehicle ride height, which is why there are no published numbers for this measurement. We suggest taking this measurement and keeping it in a log book, so that in the event you encounter deep water you will know what your maximum allowable depth is before potential submersion of the inlet pipe.

All AEM Cold Air Intake installations retain the factory splash shield (fender liner) for filter protection and performance. Removal of splash shield actually deteriorates performance by allowing air heated by the pavement to enter the filter and negates any positive pressure created in the air filter area when the vehicle is in motion.

There are some instances where there is not enough room around the inlet pipe for adequate clearance of an Air Bypass Valve. In these instances, we recommend installing a Short Ram system if water ingestion is a concern.

water has to be this high

u wont catch me in puddles that big

Asked if they have it in stock and international payment...got the answer a while back

Dear Customer,

This part number is currently in stock at Injen. We are expecting our shipment of them as we speak.

If you have a US-issued credit card, we can either accept that or Paypal as a form of payment.

Sincerely,
PTUNING

http://www.ray-lee.com/stuff/Honda%20Accord/IntakeInjen/filterheight.jpg

You would have to be a DMF to go through water that deep, and people are worried about about hydro-locking.

and remember your front bumper is protected with plastic guards which blocks water from just getting in normally only when the front is submerged that level is when you are screwed but at that point water is already entering your cabin so your screwed anyways

but at that point water is already entering your cabin so your screwed anyways

Haha. People are making such big deal about it. Unless you go offroading in your Accord, or run over a fire hydrant, you should be fine.

There was only one point I had water that was almost that high, and I was in a Nissan 200SX slammed to the ground driving through water over the curb (only flash flood in dallas i've been in), and I was okay. I think I'd find another route if I saw a 12" deep puddle in front of me.

so who has got this in a 2008 accord coupe V6 AT, cause i want reviews of it because im very close to gettin it and i wana make sure no CEL

Just wondering, but when it comes to aftermarket air intakes like this how often do you have to clean the filter? and to access it do you have to remove the bumper every time?

Doh! PTUNING sent me an intake for an 02-04 Mitsu Lancer. They better get this cleared up ASAP... :/

That ****s dead 'rolla. Hopefully they'll fix that up for you quick. My intake from ptuning arrived today. That was pretty quick. The instructions look pretty good with a step by step guide and pictures to go along with it. The only thing that worries me is removing the bumper. Does anybody know if its necessary to remove the bumper?

Wow, that ****s. Something got switched around.

If it says to remove the bumper I would suggest doing it. If they want you to remove the bumper, it's because space would be to tight to fit the Intake into it's position. I know the Injen Intake for the 2004 Accord required the removal of the bumper.

ive always been an AEM fan myself (all of my familiy's cars have AEM)

but what ever floats your boat :thmsup:

:nuts:i just ordered my injen CAI from ptuning.com! i cant wait to get it!:nuts:

would it fit on a 08 accord sedan?

so does anyone hav it for 2008 accord coupe v6 AT, reviewss??? im about to buy, and i wold rather not take off the bumper, such a hassle

I'm pretty sure you do have to remove your front bumper. I would anyway for an easier install. Much more room to work with.

Came home from work on Friday and there's another INJEN box sitting in front of my door. Sure enough, it's for an 08 Accord v6. I guess I'll send them back the Lancer intake on Monday. Time to start installing! :thmsup:

so does anyone hav it for 2008 accord coupe v6 AT, reviewss??? im about to buy, and i wold rather not take off the bumper, such a hassle

well,i just installed my AEM CAI for my 08 coupe v6 AT,& with the AEM its a must to take off bumper.You need the room & i dunno how far the injen comes down but the AEM comes down pretty far & you have to bend the driverside fog light bracket to fit the fliter.It's not a big deal,jus be really careful when pulling off the bumper as to not break the clips.

so does anyone hav it for 2008 accord coupe v6 AT, reviewss??? im about to buy, and i wold rather not take off the bumper, such a hassle

Me and my cousin just finished installing it on a AT V6.:banana: It is necessary to remove the bumper and the battery. So far no CEL and it sounds really nice once you get over 3000 rpm.

The injen intake comes down pretty far too so you need to bend the drivers side fog light bracket to fit the filter just like the AEM.

Just finished intalling mine as well. Took about two hours from start to finish...and I also had to remove the bumper and battery tray to get it in.

Has anyone also bought the hydroshield thing available at injenonline.com? I'm considering it for $27.00...

I just bought my Injen intake and the Hydroshield. Once I have it all installed I'll take some pictures. I'm also going to take a lot of pictures of the install process (what the intake looks like without the bumper on). I've wanted to see pictures like that but no one has posted anything like that. I'll let you all know how it goes.

thanks :thmsup: .....cant wait for pics :banana:
