I like the tube in tube design of the weapon R intakes, but the price is off the charts. You're going from a $30 pipe to a $250 setup now. If I were you, I'd look for a Bomz intake like 00Accordlx5spd has. 3.2L isn't a typo, it's the engine in the Acura 3.2CL, which is really the same car as the Accord sedan, only with 2 doors and a few ammenities that they withhold from the Honda line.

I installed a Comptech Icebox on my brother's 3.2CL and the kit even said that it was for an Accord 3.0L. The only differances were that I had to notch a corner off of the radiator shield that is on the Acura, but not the Accord and also, I had to cut 1.5" off of the coolant bypass hose that was included in the kit (important because when the hose was too long, it was pushing on the bottom of the throttle pulley and I couldn't see this. The first time I test drove it, the hose got caught in the pulley and didn't let the throttle close. Simple fix with a cigar cutter!).

Seriously, spending more than $80 or sois a huge waste of money for an SRI or a CAI. You are paying for a piece of pipe, some plastic/rubber hoses,and a $50 filter.

alright went to that bomz website and they didnt have a sri for my car but they did have a cai thats only $88 which is the cheapest ive seen for my car. How come every brand makes a cai for my car but not a sri. Well this is it http://www.bomzracing.com/index.asp?...amp;ProdID=964tell me wat u guys think, am i gonna need a sock for the filter or a new filter totally, cause arent these systems very susceptible to damage from water. All input is very appreciated. Thanks

Snow if you lose the lower shield, not water.

Not unless you are sitting at idle for hours on end. Once you get moving the pipe will cool off fine. I've never had any problems with heat on mine and it is metal. Most of the name brand ones are metal as well. if you are worried about the heat, you could always heat wrap it with some of that heat wrap they sell for headers. I wouldn't worry about it though.
