It is supposed to be quiet that is one of the best things about the Icebox. If you wanted loud go with something that has a pod on the end of it.

just get it off ebay *us* the guy who sells all these comptech gears. can't remember how much mine was, but it's cheap compare to injen, and there was no delay at all too

that's good to hear, i wash my filter once every 5000km (it can last for 10k tho) after the washing, u can always feel a difference. I like it, cos it's not as loud as the injen or k&n but i guess that's just personally taste, but myself i do prefer gain in low rpm than high end rpm since everyday u driving in the mid range anyway. But one thing i do love is the sound of VTEC !!!

did u search the DIY section because i made a DIY when i isntalled it, with sound + pics but the pics gone now for some reason if anyone thinking of installing it, feel free to pm me if u want some photos with the instruction ^^

Is that a k&n filter that you're using?
Reason I ask is that k&n recommend washing the filter every 50-80k km.
I remember reading in the manual that the filter works better after it picks up a little dirt (doesn't really sound logical to me, but anyway...) It'd vary depending on conditions... 5k sounds too often to me, unless you frequent unsealed roads on a daily basis.

IIRC the manual mentioned to clean it when it became clogged (something about the gunk being level with the wire mesh). Highly unlikely that it's as clogged as that after 5k.

Hi, just wondering what cleaner you guys are using with your comptech filter??
