Default Got to have that cold air!

I was so surprised recently that I've just got to tell someone!

I installed an AEM cold air intake on my 03 Accord 4cyl sometime last fall. Last week was the first time I had the opportunity for a road trip. After 1450 miles of driving, over five days, I ended up with an overall average of 38 mpg! The best mileage was purely expressway (cruise set at 65 mph)with a fillup when I got off the highway back home... 43 mpg!

I even had to dig up the original window sticker, which shows 24 / 33 for this model. Apparently, this CAI made a BIG diffenence.

Of course aftermarket mods make the biggest difference. More and colder (oxygen dense) air flowing into the engine equals cleaner and more efficient burn.

Ok i cant decide to get a k&n air intake or a aem. I read that the aem gets like 10 more horsepower than the k&n. I know the k&n air filter is reusable but is the Aem air filter reusable too? Which one should i get???????????
