I guess that the actual intake tube is like a tuned pipe and the air somehow gets resonated into the manifold faster and effeciently. Like I said though, I don't have first hand experience. I have had experience with K&N and Neuspeed and they make a good intake but for the $10 my sri cost on ebay I'm not disapointed. _____________________________ You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. 95 EX Auto OBX 4-2-1 Header Type R Strut Bar SRI 174k miles (in reply to lewfx) Post #: 2

It seemed to pull harder than b4, and it was bit more peppy on the peddle. As for mpg....i may have lost some, cuz i drive it harder than usual lol (in reply to lewfx) Post #: 5

Didnt think it did anything until I got outta the neighborhood and I couldnt believe the difference. I was very satisfied. I've noticed that it kicks in every gear once u get to 2500RPM's. K&N makes an awesome filter, just not for japanese made cars in my opinion. They work great in my buddy's jeep and my friend's truck tho. Definitely go w/ the AEM, in my opinion. Just make sure u dont order it straight from AEM, they've got the most expensive price. Where do u live by the way? (in reply to accordcoupe2003) Post #: 9

Its well worth it, but I just hydrolocked my engine. it cost me 1800 to replace it. I dont think the V2 has a bypass valve for it. If you live some where with poor drainage its not worth it get the short ram. (in reply to lewfx) Post #: 11
