abs w/ intake

['93EX]

I just now purchased a cheap short-ram intake off of eBay (just for the tubing; adding custom filter). Now, I have the EX which has ABS. Now, in the description, it didn't say that it was for the Accord w/o ABS. I have seen other short-ram intakes on eBay where they specifically say "NO ABS". This intake did not. I was curious as to if I should be alright. Even if not, how bad will the intake rub against the ABS modulator?

Lastly, what would be a good replacement filter to put on (best heat protection and performance. links would be nice)?

if its a normal intake tube (up to 3") it will fit without touching the ABS crap. its the wider ones (whale penises and the ones with that... chamber thing) that wont fit.

Here is the actual intake. Thanks for the info Mike.

It should fit I had an intake like that and I have abs and it didnt rub against it

Good. What I wanted to hear. I was worried for a sec (I never wing it. I always examine parts 500% before I buy; it sucks). Thanks.

I rub.

What kind of intake do you have? And is the rubbing critical?

i rub and yes it is critical, cpmike has seen it on my car i think. i think maple has too, i know warrior has too. it wore right through the tube and made a 1 inch hole

holy crap how come mine did not do that

mine rubs, but it has only taken off the paint i coated the tubing with.

and get a k&n filter.

I just put my old F22 into someone's '93 ex coupe and it had a hole there. My friend reinforced it with a piece of steel, but I think you could probably just try to mount it as close as possible to the tb or cut a 1/4" ring off that end of the pipe so the intake turns 1/4" early to avoid the ABS crap. I have a similar intake on my H23 '92 EX 4DR, but it doesn't hit at all.....oh yeah, it's for a prelude, nevermind.

['93EX]

Yeah, I know see where the intake will rub the abs. What I can possibly do is put something between the two as a buffer when the intake is installed.

The only K&N filters I have seen replace the stock rectangle filter.

You can get just the cone-style K&Ns off of eBay, I've bought them there before. I'd visit their site (K&N) for the applicable part number before purchasing, so that you get what you thought you purchased.....

get a rubber coupler, like the ones that connect ur intake to the throttle body. wiggle it up to the part where it would hit, that should absorb it a little. if it doesnt wiggle far enough, make a slit in it and use a clamp to keep it there. (trademark 93accordexcoupe )

Thanks for the tips. Will do.
