I have been using an AEM short ram intake along with other bolt ons, obviously better than the stock intake, and it has been fine! I purchase the INJEN CAI in order to use it a hondata refresh effectively with the other bolt ons. Absolutely blown away with the performance! Even if I didn't have the reflash and other bolt ons, it is a great product in comparison to a short ram intake! Installation was not terrible, I am a novice when it comes to working on cars, so roughly it took an hour or so watching YouTube videos and skimming though the manual (I didn't have to take the battery out and do the whole flipping and drilling etc.). Everything was straight forward having the right set of tools and patience. My only hesitation is the reservoir holes not lining up with the frame, but still 5 stars due to the fact that it works fantastically with the Hondada refresh and other bolts ons!

I highly recommend this CAI! It's perfect for what I need. I was worried it would be too loud. You don't start to hear the roar until after 5K RPMs. Then when vtec hits it sounds so deep and throaty. My engine is actually louder at idle. Just follow the directions . I had some trouble with the new reservoir lining up. So I ended up giving it a gentle pry with a long flat head. You also have to move that wiring harness up a little so it sits flush against the mounting point. Don't forget to have extra grommets for the bumper. I recommend buying a case of them from Amazon same quality as OEM and low cost. Enjoy!

I've had this CAI on my 02 type-s for 6 months now. Took roughly 2 hours to put on. I would say that there was a noticeable increase in throttle response and aggressive intake noise. As far as horsepower, it doesn't make much of a difference until your car is either reflashed or tuned.

Just like my title says, you can feel the power when you first take it for a spin. When I have the A/C I felt s lot of lag, but with the CAI the lag lessened and game my K20 more life to live! The sound is amazing! And the power is felt. They say it increases MPG but I haven't noted a difference, but that may be because I can't stop flooring to hear the VTEC crossover.

This product is straight up amazing... Sounds way better than my short ram intake. Right after the install, I let my car idle for about 15 minutes and took it out for a spin in a 95 degree weather day. HOLY POWER! The amount of power the car still had after idling in the heat for 15 minutes is amazing. Before with my short ram intake the heatsoak was crazy, but with this i don't feel any power loss. And the install only took like an hour! Great product.
