Well, I went back home this weekend from college, and made myself a CAI... I bought a ractive filter off of ebay, and found all the other necessary materials at Home Depot!
The cars sounds incredible. At high rpms it just makes everyone stare, and tunnels just shake!
Well sound wouldn't do anything without performance, and I damm sure feel the difference. Especially on the highway, because I have it set up almsot as forced induction... I have the hosing right down to where the fog lights would go.. if you have a good eye, you'll be able to see it on my pics page in my website... I forgot to take a pic of the engine bay.
sup dawg, i just recently made (finished, actually just this evening)my own custom CAI. i haven't even drivin the car yet tho! anyways i have a 98 accent gsi. what i was wonderin was..when i bought it, it already had a naxos muffler on it, and i noticed you also have one on ur website. anyways, i was wondering..do u hear like a popping, kind of gurgle sound when u let off the gas? (especially when i just sit and rev) I do, its done it since i got it 3 weeks ago, and im wonderin what the hell it does it for. ...the CAI just amplifies this sound along with everything else!
thnx, Travbo

Well, I never experienced a popping sound when I let go of the gas... that usually happens when you have unburned fuel in the exhaust and something sparks it. You can intentionally do that by putting a spark plug in your muffler, but I don't know how to do that.
Like I said in another post, my Naxos muffler isn't too loud, mainly because I don't have a cat-back yet, so I haven't really increased the airflow.
About the intake though, the sound comes from the engine... so its a surrond sound effect, it doesn't really add any loudnes to the muffler.
I think someone else on this site might be able to go into more detail about the popping sound, so make a new topic about that if you'd like.
peace.
Decrum, whats up? I have a 2k Accent and I wanted to know if you can email me with the parts you used and the process you went through to install it. My email is sting811@aol.com I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Peace.
