Well, do you find ANY logic in this? Why would you do that? It doesn't include photos, or even a description of how it would work.

The description should say, "Hi I'm a scam artist looking to make some money off of people that don't know any better."

Then again, maybe I'm missing out!

Its real, but the gains are very minimal.

There is a coolant hose to the throttlebody. It uses hot coolant to prevent the throttle plate from freezing shut durring the winter. That coolant also warms up the intake charge. Thus bypassing the coolant would keep the intake cooler.

If you live in a area where it is always hot, it might be worth it for the extra 1whp.. .otherwise don't bother. Don't order the kit on ebay either, you can get the parts and instructions online for much cheaper.

Also adding the hondata intake gasket with lower temp even more. Don't buy the kit, you can do it yourself with some parts from the hardware store.
