You should be able to get an Injen for around 400 shipped from the US if you find a seller in the US willing to ship it economically.

As others have stated you won't find a "full replacement" intake for less then $400 new... that is worth buying.
either:
- Buy a replacement filter and do "Hondata airbox mod" (google it)
- Keep an eye out for 2nd hand Injen intake (make sure it comes with the washer bottle)
- Import the intake yourself from the states (Aus $ is VERY good at the moment)
Good luck

The owner purchased the F5 Air Fujita. $420 very nice looking intake. Took about 5 hours I took my time as I like to do things neat and tidy. I do something then I don't like it i change it again.
Dislikes -
The instructions.
Have to remove front bumper
Have to cut the splash guard for the piping to feed through.
Have to remove the brake ducting pipe so there is room for the Air filter.
Have to replace the washer bottle - Now I had big problems with this, the holes where the 2 motors go, had to be made bigger.
The washer bottle funnel wouldn't fit in the entire way, as its slightly thinker then the stock,
the grove where its meant to sit didn't go in the entire way, got it in as much as I could and put silicone around it just in case..
Then bolting the bottle into position, the washer bottle is thicker then stock and the bolts didn't reach,
had to use a electric sander to sand down the areas where the bolts fed through.
Re-assembly on the left hand side underneath plastic didn't reach, the two bolts when re-assembling the front bumper underneath,
due to the filter being so big, you can cut the plastic section out but then when it rains you'll get water onto the filter,
so what I did was cable tie it back as close as possible and it actually came out good.
Likes -
Price.
Apparently there are some performance gains like 7kw.
Looks good & it feels of good quality.
SOUNDS FREAKIN MEAN@!!!!!
As I did this for a friend the end result was good he was very happy,
but it took time and I encountered more hiccups then I would of liked I was about to bash the water bottle at one stage,
now going through the rev range it sounds normal until you hit around 4grand....
then 6 grand BOOM the thing just sounds like its going to rip its freaking guts right out of itself....
both inside and outside it sounds good,I wasn't expecting it to sound this loud!
I like how it sounds but I didn't enjoy installing it.

I was going to get the injen but you guys didn't have stock and the owner wanted to do it right away so it was his decision to go for the Fujita which was in stock.
