i just installed a comptech icebox i picked up for 100 into my 04 ep3 and....it is a biattchhh to install.

took me like 3 hours. i was expecting it to be fast and easy but i couldnt get the damn pipe in correctly

after driving i dunno if its a placebo but it feels much better than my hondata+k&n. it definitely sounds better

the sound is lower and deeper not high like the hondata box. and i noticed my rpms drop a lot slower when im off the pedal.

the one thing i cant for certain pinpoint for sure is that my car seems to pull better between 2-4.5k rpm
BUT that could just be in my head?

I love my icebox! It definitely brings out some low end torque and sounds great. PITFA to install for sure though. I learned the trick is to get everything in place from the bottom up, start the threads on everything but don't tighten anything till it's all in there.
