Well i just got the comptech icebox and it's sitting in the box waiting to be installed... is there anything I should look out for or any advice you guys can give me? thanks..

 

I have the same intake also. its not hard to install, however Im not too happy with a foam airfilter. I found a fine layer dust on the inside of the tube. and the foam filter may have been loose,or in need of a cleaning. AFE makes a good oiled cotten gauze replacement. maybe yours will work better. just check it often when driving in dusty conditions. and Enjoy

 

Don't over oil the filter is a good tip.

The airbox can be a pain to fit properly, and the lid will rub the hood. Line the inside of the hood with foam tape to keep the lid scratches to a minimum.

 

BTW, you've double posted this in the S2000 talk forum. Please refrain from double posting.

 

advice - sell it.

 

Well I installed the comptech icebox tonight and everything went fairly well except for some fitment issues that have been solved. after i went out for a test drive.. everything seemed great.. sound's good throughout all rpm's... after i went out for another drive an hour or two later.. i noticed that the check engine light is on.. anyone have any input on why it might be? thanks!


merged from another thread

 

looked into the forums using the search and i think it may have been the vaccuum hoses.. but after looking at them for a fairly long time.. it seems like they are where they should be.. and is driving with the CEL on because of the intake a bad idea ?i need some info fast!!

 

Your PM has been replied to.

This may help with fitment issues.
