well im glad that someone has tried that out, i am sorry to hear that no real results came from it, any diff in exhaust noise or what? I am new to the honda family with a 2006 honda EX, nighthawk pearl with ivory interior. Nice ride , not a whole lot of power , but i had a 2001 chvy s10 prior to that so I am just happy with a change of scenery. I am just Po'd that there is really nothing i can do to get that car up to 160 or 170 hp ? maybee that a bit much but from what i am hearing, even a cai is not all that worth while? let me know what you think would put me just ahead of the rest of us r18er's? besides a k20z3 engine, damn that sounds like a better engine just saying it.

honestly, 2.5 might too much, you might actually be losing power. im going turbo and it seems like itll be either 2.5/2.75.

im running on 2.25 now, which in my opinion is more than fine.
