upgrade for my tc

[BLankito]

well im just recently starting to get into the whole car seen and since u guys all have nice cars i will ask..what would be better for my tc..a short ram intake or cold air intake and what brand is a good one to get..thanks for the input

[lowlow]

coldair fujita

[BLankito]

the only question i got to you is are cai's bad during the winter?

[lowlow]

when i had my eg civic i drove her all year round with a cai everything good weather is not a factor then again my boy had one in his 98 ek and one day he drove threw a big puddle of water and suck up the water straight to his engine

[BLankito]

haha well that would really make me mad if that happend to me..i guess i just gotta look around

I also had a CAI in my Galant and in the winter the car felt so much stronger man... it was really doing its job sucking colder air into the engine the only downside I see on the CAI is the puddles if you live in an area that is prone to flooding or high puddles you def dont want a cai you just asking for trub.... short rams are ok and serve they purpose only thing is that they suck warmer air in because they are closer to the engine.... I mean they both have pros and cons man its really personal preference honestly.....

but I am sure 1na the TC guys can chime in....

[BLankito]

haha yea hopefully one of them see this and post some input...i just installed my ebay exhaust and its sounding pretty damn good

[Jay Blaze]

in my opinion a CAI is bette off. You can always take the tubing that goes through the fender off and make it a short ram if it floods alot or it winter like ( Like me). the only bad thing is getting it on and off the car sctarch free....

Just my .02 cents

[BLankito]

thanks man i appreciate that

I been having a TRD CAI for 2 years and have had no problem. Mine has the bypass so it keeps most of the water out. I have been through a lot of water b4 and nothing bad has happen. :mrblue:

LOL show off but I bet if I threw my CAI on the did this I would so be S.O.L that wouldn't even be funny!!! lmao

[Krdshrk]

HOLY crap, Gley! That's insane!

Yes - if you get a CAI, make sure you get a Bypass valve!

[BLankito]

alright one more question..the bypass valve that gley and milton got i cant find on any cai for a 09 tC..does anyone know if i bought a cai for an earlier make of a tc would it fit on mine?

[BeBe2630]

When I bought mine it came with the bypass. They had told me that from 08 nd up TRD were making it with that bypass.

[BLankito]

o alright..thanks for letting me know that.

[BeBe2630]

[BeBe2630]
