WHOA there turbo
first off, why did you compliment my cold air and then insult his?
granted his is a little more likely to suck up water.
but come on are you bi polar?
Don't say my crap is ok then slam him, that's just not cool.
I respect you and you have a killer 1st Gen man, but don't act all high and mighty about it. You have a turbo, it's a device for making your car go faster, not a means for you to blow hot air.
I don't want to start a crap match here, but that just was way left field.
again I have nothing against you personally, I am just defending a friend.

I would expect this from a honda guy, but not from someone who drives a lexus unless you're like 18 yrs old. 
I know the risks involved with doing a cold air intake of my caliber. I actually have the fender lining at the other house which I will be putting back on even though it will rub a lil.

Here ya go straight from the experts !
A cold air intake (CAI) is different because it is routed to a location away from the immediate vacinity of the hot area of the engine bay. The pipe is longer and more complicated. This makes it more expensive and can be harder to install than the SRI. A huge danger is if the CAI filter is placed near the underside of the car where water can enter. This create the problem of hydrolock and the possibility of water in the engine....not good. The obvious advantage is that it doesn't suffer from heat soak as much as the SRI. The filter will be placed in an area to accept Cold Air only but the piping can still get hot closer to the engine. Some CAI's will not result in a horsepower increase simply because they are not engineered properly. Air passes through the pipe at a certain speed and this speed can have a negative affect on the air speed/pressure that is ideal for the engine. Harmonics and longintudinal waves can also help decrease power if not engineered properly as well as turns in the piping.
You may ask "why would a car manufacturer not engineer the intake like a CAI/SRI in the first place. Well, becaues of the disadvantages mentioned above as well as the noise created from these intakes. It is very rare that a CAI/SRI will be more quiet that the stock system. This plays a huge role in design contraints.

I understand that the placement is quite low, you could of responded in a uniform manner. Either way, I appreciate your feedback and the lining is going in as soon as I get ahold of it. Thanks for your concern Turbo.

yes I know the reasons behind it
"Harmonics and longintudinal waves can also help decrease power if not engineered properly as well as turns in the piping."
^^^^
these same waves if correct make more power, I'm sure you know this. Granted I don't have an engineering degree, but I notice a difference, and I kept up to one of my friends where as b4 he walked me, has that little bit extra to it.

HAD TO BE A HONDA .HEHEBryan move the intake.
make a sheild that will block the air in the engine bay.

[QUOTE=LexAristo]Hey guys,
Before I begin, I would like to thank my personal friend and CL member , Eric aka Lord of the Celsiors for his help with this mod. I added a intake pipe (35.00-45.00 depending where you go)to the Injen intake. Took about 2 hours to do as we had to cut and make sure it was a good fit.
We also cut the pipe from the long end since it was sitting to low as a result of my cars height.
I got lucky Eric had a black Injen rubber connector sitting around.
First impressions have been great andthe car pulls very hard when I floor it it. The main thing that I am very happy about is after parking the car, the intake is cold and not warm which it normally was with the SRI.
Pictured is also my Aristo emblems on the side near the fenders. Getting up his driveway was an adventure as well.
