Hi fam,
Just wanted to share this, as I have not seen it being mentioned or compared on the web. So it may be a first.
During my C32B I noticed a big difference between the OEM intake snorkels where the OEM air box connects to.
- C30A is equivalent to a SRI(short ram intake,) it seems to have a wider opening for more volume and a single opening.
- C32B has a tuned long tube ‘T shaped’ intake pipe that has dual openings, with the shorter end having a butterfly valve that is vacuum operated by a solenoid switch to open in the higher rpms(possibly during or before VTEC engages. The longer end runs towards the rear bumper with a ‘90 degree’ snorkel pointing upwards.
See for yourselves.
