Strength:

run even with my friend with an integra. same drive, engine, and year just i have a four door. Assuming his short ram gives him no horsepower and then calculating horsepower to weight ratio i would have 149hp 7+ over stock.

Nice sound, quiet but growls when you give it more.

looks stock
carb legal
very improbable hydrolocking
company focuses on honda and acura engines

The diameter of the pipe looks like it could flow a turbo diesel, restriction what is that.

You can use it with stock intake tube

plastic to keep air cooler

Weakness:

it comes from comptech
if you want bling dont go for it.
a little pricey for plastic, but you pay for the engineering

found out comptech is ten minutes away from my house and drove the teg there and purchased the foam filter and the icebox, but not the polished intake tube.
purchased seperately first the filter was ~$50 and the ice box was 160 plus tax. The hardest part was ripping the stock airbox out. That thing is ridiculously unnecessary. If you can get the airbox out you can install the icebox. Took about 45 minutes to install. Worst part is puting on the lower bracket that is right next to the ac lines(tight fit) Nice sound good pickup. plus you can take off the turn signal SCZAMMM intant ram air.

Nice intake...

Strength:

Quiet, no one knows you have it. Great power response. No bogging in power even in the summer time and even on VERY hot days.

Weakness:

Fitment on the Icebox to the intake is a question. Goes in smooth and works fine, but it looks like it could fit just a little bit better if the engineers took a little bit more time.

This for both the Short Ram and Icebox. The products are made of very high quality materials. Fitment is pretty good. Though the top of the icebox doesnt latch on very well, but good enough so that it doesn't fall off or move around. It stay put. The icebox is designed very well.

Strength:

Low end to mid range torue Responsive throttle No water ingestion risk Good design

Weakness:

expensive

The Comptech intake combined with the Ice Box that draws cold air from below the headlight is the ultimate set up. It made nice low end to mid range torque and a responsive throttle response due to the high flow filter. I like it better than those cold air filter on a stick setup.

Strength:

More power than stock and comptech short ram. Don't hear annoying whistling from short ram intakes. Nice sound when combined with apexi n1 catback. Don't have to work about hydrolocking engine.

Weakness:

Price, but you get what you pay for.

Great intake, comptech quality parts, making carbon fiber cover for the ice box to add to carbon fiber hood, not as noticeable as aem style intakes

Model Reviewed: 2000 civic si

Strength:

it almost looks stock (had the intake pipe powdercoated black) and its also a CAI. you dont hear vtec kick in

Weakness:

the price and an unofficial dyno sheet comparing AEM CAI, Injen CAI, and Comptech Icebox showing that Injen had a couple more horsepower at certain RPM. you dont hear vtec kick in

the sound is a lot quieter than DC Sports DAC but a little louder than stock. the car feels more responsive now and i dont feel the power loss i had with the DAC after the driving around and sucking up hot air from under the hood.
