I recently replaced my wifes factory air filter in the Pilot, and with only 1800 miles on the odometer this is what I've noticed.

1. Increased fuel economy by about 1-2 mpg.

2. More aggressive intake growl and VTEC engagement.

3. Mid range passing power (according to the butt dyno) has definetly improved.

Not only is the K&N a better flowing cotton-gauze element, but it's about half as thick as the factory paper filter creating even less restriction due to it's slim design.

Just figured I'd ask and see what results others have experienced.

 

yeah i pulled out the stock airbox in my dads 05 mdx, usd to go abut 60k in first no does 70, you can now feel vtec engagement, as you said

 

This is what I like to see. I see all of the commercials but seeing real life results is great for me.
I may just go and get one for each of my cars now

 

yeah man, definetly alot more fun, dead stop floor it in 2nd and round 5000 rpms vtec goes nuts starts screaming

 

the thing is that stock oem filters filter better than the k&n

 

put one on my 92 civic CX, 70hp, better
throttle response, a tad more torque/power,
1-2 mpg more
best of all, it was free
