Donīt trust in numbers published by tuning catalogues/ magazines!

IMO there are only two good ways to go when itīs about air filters:

1.) Stock with a K&N (or similar) drop-in filter.
-You wonīt see much of a gain (if any) this way but your ride also wonīt become too loud (no trouble with the police) and you wonīt loose any power anywhere over the hole power band. A lot of people say gas mileage will become better, too. So this is the easiest and cheapest way.

2.) A cold air intake (CAI).
- Please do a search about that in here! It has been discussed a thousand times!

There also some other kinda unique systems like the Comptech Icebox which seem to be very good, too.

BUT please stay AWAY from normal open intakes like the K&N cone filter because they suck in the hot air from the engine bay and that wonīt give you any gain or even take some horses away from your beloved Honda engine!! Engines need cold air...
