Default Is there a CAI that looks like an intercooler?

I remember back in the Acura days there was a company that made CAI with the filter sitting towards the front of the bumber that resemble an Intercooler. Looks great but you can only use it during the dry season. Does anyone know where to find this product?

There is a tranny cooler that one former CL member put in their GS300 that was kind of an 'interfooler'.



He said "It's a Fluidyne Polished tranny cooler....needed something to fill the big Win hole...."

IMO, don't do it. Next we'll be seeing questions about this too BOV Simulator

yes there is. Its made by arospeed. Mainly for honda/acura. It cool an all except that it actually reduces hp. there isnt enought vaccum to creat a decent amount of hp. the air has to travel so far that it defeats the purpose. its called the FMIS. Front Mount Intake System. I knew a couple of guys with civics that had them... but took them off after about a week. oh, and when you stop at a light the car just about dies because it cant create enough vac to keep it from dying.

Yeah, if any of you car nuts constantly watch horsepower TV and Trucks, you wouldve seen the Horsepower TV crew did this. I think it looks really silly, like your trying to fake the turbo...
