INTAKE again

Hey everyone ....for people that have a cold air intake in there accords...how much power and gas mileage did u acually gain?
was there a big diffrence or no diffrence?

Stock engine, with just a CAI added is probably about 4 hp on an I4 and gas mileage varies to much by driving habits to predict any gains with it you'll just have to check that yourself for you car/driving habits..

As for feeling difference.... as a rule of thumb you will not or may just barely feel a difference on anything less than a 10HP gain...

I just put one on my 99 LX 4 cylinder last weekend. Got a little extra power. But I was after a little more mileage. It went down. Its coming off today. 

I put mine in for looks and for the sound only,,,eh-what can I say

There's no reason why an after market intake would decrease your gas mileage unless youre driving more aggressive to hear that intake or your air filter sucks. get a good filtering air filter, Apexi power intake for example, and you will see improvements in mpg. I did anyway. clean air plays a big role in mpg.

so bacsicaly just get a air filter that's really good so it will help with the gas mileage ....like K&N Apex and so on

K&N cannot really be compared with Apexi in terms of filtration and air flow. Apexi has been tested to pretty much be the best filter out there. about $100+ for one. http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/

oh wow really...can i buy one from ebay or something? or do i have to go to a store pay shit load ?

Theyre universal, only the adapter changes. Here: http://www.gen5alive.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=503_4_187_611&products_id=596

the 80mm is about 3.15" the other one on the site is 70mm, or about 2.756" so take your pick. Then simply go to pep boys and get a double sided 3" intake tube coupler. Look at mine here.
