not really - when accelerating and goin for a good 0-100 time your almost always above 3000 much more than you are below it. If your a fairly consiervative driver that rarely goes above 3000 it's probably not for you

it brings out the maniac with me if i rev too hard :P when i do it once i keep doing it!
looking at the PDF files on the K&N website, there seems to be a lot of work involved with installing the filter, removing the front wheel etc, i thought it was a simple bolt on job! Is it simple to install the filter by your self, or is it better to leave it to the "professionals" ?
I'm tossing up between CAI and Icebox too...this thread is leaning me towards the CAI.
I dont think removing the wheel is what makes it difficult...but just how hard is it, especially on a Lux with fog lamps?
Ask a preofessional i say if you have no clue. Also i would like have some info on that ice box :P
It's very easy to do. I have fogs on my standard, and you most likely won't have the room to get your arm up between the lamp assembly and the resonator to remove the last bolt. Simply unscrew the single screw that secures the bumper to the fender and carefully lift and pull the top edge of the bumper from under the head light. You only need to pull it away far enough to get your arm in to undo that bolt and you're done. Everything else removes very easily and install is even easier.Quote:

read through this thread... that's pretty much been answered already :p
i think locally your looking around $250 and you get less high end but no loss of torque
For any Euro CAI, you do not need to remove the bumper at all :)
Although I've yet to check out Euro77's car to see if the pain in the arse bolt can be removed from under the car....
Yeah to fit CAI...
2 ways... Either....
Remove Front Bumper
OR
Removing front Passenger side Wheel & working through the fender guards..
It all depends what ur more comfortable doing...
Yes you can buy it locally through one of the Ozhonda traders - but it is more expensive than buying it from Acura of Escondido.Quote:

How much performance gain? Hard to say -- what are your expectations. If you are expecting more than 0.5 seconds faster to 100kph you will be dissapointed. But you will not get that with the Injen either. It is, however, noticeable in day to day driving and in gear acceleration.
Lets put it this way - if you don't mind a loud intake without hesitation go for the Injen or K&N Typhoon. Without doubt that is what I woudl do. But if you still want to retain a relatively quiet cabin you need to look at the Icebox.
