IMO, I think you and EVERYBODY should get this intake. You can't go wrong.



You can't get colder air anywhere than the front grille hands down.

My advice would be to keep the intake you have. The Hondata gasket works well, but the advertised increase is just an estimate. Every motor is different. Anytime you can keep intake temps down, it's a good thing.

I have both. The Password intake has good mid range, but forget out top end power. The AEM pulls decent in the mid range compared, and has a lot more top end power.

I have both and the AEM wins in my book. The J's knockoff does look cool though.

Stock arm baby, ill post pictures of what i did with my intake when my car gets back from the shop.

All i did was take out the Oem intake box, cut my arm up to the rippes, and wedged some old integra plastic air intake tubing up the tube. Then i went and bought a K/N intake filter, and up a custom support bracket thats bolted to the shock tower. I like black. So i stick with OEM!

Definately stay with the AEM. Like someone else said, the gasket works but I doubt it'll really give much more than a 5% gain...(I'm remaining skeptical until I get mine installed later next month)

AEM is fine. Spend your money on something else than an intake that does barley anything for your car anyway.

They posted this as a joke, it's nothing you want for your car.

Aem CAI will always be the best Intake for those seeking out maximum power gains from the midrange and up...short rams usually produce good midrange and a good top end. On the dynos with open hoood the short rams make more power but with the hood closed the short rams will make less power.
