007, drop the 18 pounds of boost and I bet you'll see a jump in mileage.

That took 5 seconds and no effort whatsoever with this.

about adding more HP i figured because of the weight of these new accords a little bump in the HP area would be a good thing,also only after market part is a K&N replacement filter in my air box , should i return to an OEM honda filter? maintenace is up to date i do some work my self a i changed the spark plugs last year in advance , which helped with the mileage back then and HP, ALSO MEMBERS THE 18PSI BOOST IS FOR MY NISSAN 240SX NOT MY ACCORD, SORRY 4 THE MIX UP .

K&N drop in filter is fine. No need to change back. What plugs did you use? Bosch kills Honda coils. They should be NGK or Denso. NGK double plat's are the best for Accords
