i just went with the comptech ice box intake, it's one of the more pricier items on the marketm but
it looks stock, is deisgned to fit perfectly in my vehicle, at 3500 to 4000 rpm i can feel the intake drawing the air in from below the engine bay, and as a bonus, it actually has a nice deep tone at that rpm range.
of course below 3500rpm, no effect, thats vtec for you!!!
im not an engineer, but i do spend a helluva amount of time driving every day, hence, im pretty in tune with how the car car is perfoming. this mod has made a mild difference, when vtec changes over
at 3500, i now have better acceleration and i can feel the power gains thru the 6500rpm when i have the car if third, i have the manual tranny, 4th gear or D in my car is no fun!!!
gas mileage of course has suffered, however this is what i wanted, higer performance means economy be damned in my book!!!!
lets see what soem headers a high flow cat and nice cat back sytem will bring

everyone in here that thinks an aftermarket intake (ram or cold air) gives you better gas mileage is a complete idiot. more air means more fuel used, which means LOWER gas mileage!

way to pull up a 2 year old thread. to change the amount of fuel used, you would need to tune the car and tweak the ECU's fuel/air ratio. this cannot be changed any other way. what gives you more power isnt the increase of fuel of course, its the ease of moving the air. youre increasing efficiency. if you have ever lost mpg, it is most likely due to an inferior air filter.

if u want performance get that new AEM dryflow filter... altho its less quiet then the reg AEM filter it does make the engine/car run alot smoother
the Apexi filter is better than that.

I must add this to this forum post for all to read...I bought my CAI to go faster as most of you have done, not to gain in fuel savings...I like to get my foot into the gas pedal and hear that Great sound that we get from them.
I also like the idea that it was a Fast and Cheap way for me to get another approx 10 horsepower out of my V6...and by the way...it was great to go back a couple of years and see what we were talking about then: seems to be the same thing that we still talk about today in the 2007 forums
