Hey guys...Sorry about the pix. I still haven't gotten a digital camera as of yet. But anyway, on a scale of 1-10 I would give it about a 4 or 5. Just about everything said in this thread is true. Possibly a little loss of power in the lower rpms but great after you hit Mivec. It does sound good, well it sounds great. With that magnaflow muffler I put on earlier its a pretty sweet combo as far as sound goes. Would I do it again? Definitely. It just seems to rev easier and "breathe" better, if you know what I mean and the higher end gains are considerable. I guess that's about it! I'll try to answer questions until I can get a camera.

Honestly, I would put an intake and exhaust on any car I get even if it was a more expensive and fast car like an S4 or S2000 just because of the way the car revs so much more free. The sound of the exhaust itself was worth the money for me!!!!!!!!

FWIW, someone posted dyno's of SRI vs CAI a couple months back - gains (don't remember the exact numbers) were around 4-5hp for the SRI and 9 or so for the CAI. I'm sure a search will dig up the post...I'm just too lazy to go find it right now *L*

i am putting on the rest of the piping today, so I will see what the difference is
if i didn't get a CAI, i would definitely NOT get a SRI.. my stock intake with the K&N drop in was better than the SRI configuration

That's something I liked about the car, especially being an auto, I need my low end

I would say the loss is nothing to worry about. It can easily be fixed with a Piggyback... to bad we don't have an ECU reflash!! Well, we do but it's way to expensive.

i used to have the cold air intake but i lost a lot of power. it took too long to get air in the engine and had a "lag". i put short ram intake and it is just amazing . no lag and no loss of power in the 3000 range, i duno what you people are talking about.

It's very minimal, IMO your better to stay with the airbox for throttle response.
I had a comptech airbox on my RSX and it was awesome most people swear by them. If they made one for the RA I would be all over it. ( quiet too )
