Iceman air intake
Iceman air intake
I picked mine up used from a friend. Previously on my other neon I had a modded 3.0l intake.
This is the old blue one I sold, I now have a black one. The previous owner relocated the fresh air (vacuum) tube.
Fitment is great, I'll give it a 9/10 only because there isn't that much wiggle room for the tube/filter.
Nice seat of the pants feel, increase in engine noise, and it cleans up the engine bay. Installation is pretty easily done with simple hand tools.
IMO it sits up high enough that you won't suck in water unless you go through a very visibly deep pool of it. It has a sharp bend before entering the throttlebody and I want to say it's only 52mm where it connects to the throttlebody, seems like a bottleneck to me, for those with larger throttlebodies.
If you pick one up used it's a great buy, I guess they're all going to be used now though since they are discontinued.
I would probably make a 3.0l intake if I didn't already have the iceman, but at least the iceman will hold it's resale value.
Someone dynotested theirs on neons.org in a high horsepower setup. Gained 2whp before peak. The 3.0l tube was modded by adding a piece of 2.5" pipe between the bends. I wonder how my old one would compare.
2.5" pipe between the bends, 2.5" pipe inside where the ridges are, 2.5"->3" transition, 3" filter (lol free from a friend).

This is one of those rare parts where there is no contest; the Iceman is hands down the best CAI ever designed for the early Neons.
Sculpturally beautiful, it's a purpose built part that looks good and makes power.
If only all aftermarket parts could boast as much!
The only down side has been it's high cost, and now with it's discontinued status, it's rarity.

More Neons than sense.

"Dude you got beat by the neon!"
They are back ordered and i'm pretty sure not being manufactured anymore. I think their site is outta date.96mopar wrote:i just went on the www.icemanmotorsports.com and it says u can still buy our intake but its 270$ with the tray and everything
