Got to have that cold air! - 7/25/2008 7:16:51 AM    lvp0412   Posts: 5 Joined: 7/1/2007 Status: offline I was so surprised recently that I''ve just got to tell someone! I installed an AEM cold air intake on my 03 Accord 4cyl sometime last fall. Last week was the first time I had the opportunity for a road trip. After 1450 miles of driving, over five days, I ended up with an overall average of 38 mpg! The best mileage was purely expressway (cruise set at 65 mph) with a fillup when I got off the highway back home... 43 mpg! I even had to dig up the original window sticker, which shows 24 / 33 for this model. Apparently, this CAI made a BIG diffenence. LVP in Cincinnati Post #: 1

More and colder (oxygen dense) air flowing into the engine equals cleaner and more efficient burn. _____________________________ 2003 Accord LX Sedan I4| 5AT 101045 Injen SRI w/ AEM Dryflow| DCSports Ceramic Headers| DENSO IK20 Sparks| CF Front Strut Bar| Pioneer TSG950M 6x9s| Alpine SPS17C2 6.5"| C-Tek Slotted/Drilled Rotors | Progress 24mm Rear Sway Bar (in reply to lvp0412) Post #: 2

I read that the aem gets like 10 more horsepower than the k&n. I know the k&n air filter is reusable but is the Aem air filter reusable too? Which one should i get???????????
