What do you think of this intake setup?

OEM airbox on AEM tube. I still need to trim the tube another 1/2" to get the airbox to bolt in at stock location. I'm going to remove the AEM sticker and paint the tube black. K&N drop-in filter in the box. IMO this looks much cleaner than a cone filter and it's quieter.

Your opinions?

UPDATE, finished pics:

The box is much quieter and I noticed no power loss on the butt dyno. The sound is great and VTEC crossover sounds better IMHO.

Also: Ignore the filthy engine bay, it will be cleaned next week when the new motor goes in

That's the setup I always tell everyone to do.

OEM Airbox
Short-Ram intake tube (whatever brand, cheap-o eBay works the same)
K&N Drop-In Filter
Removed Resonator

I have never seen that. How does it do performance wise? Where is a resonator on an intake located at?

It's not going to take in as much as air as an open element filter, but it's quieter and some people prefer the look. Performance wise, intakes don't create much power anyway, so I doubt you'd notice much of a difference.

Looks good Brewer
