Intake question (and others)

Ok, I just got a used 97 CL 3.0 L I already like it alot. If it were a manual I would love it but either way its I great looking car. Now I want to do some minor mods. An intake for starters the problem is that I cant seem to find one. I haven't seen an Injen or AEM for my application and was wonering what is best. I have heard of people using 98 accord intakes is that a good way to go. basically I need some direction on where to go for intakes. And would also like to know of any other good place to pick up acura aftermarket parts. Thanks for your help/

and also as a tip put a quart of lucas transmission stop slip with 2 quarts of regular honda transmission oil, it reduces the jerk while it shifts and lubes the tranny better. i put it in my car and i love it, the tranny is alot smoother.

Thanks for the help. I dont know about that Lucas stuff my Dad builds transmissions and he says that you should use the stuff that comes in it from the factory. Most times the aftermarket stuff does more harm than good.

accord intake

When using Accord intakes on 1997 3.0 Cls are any modifications necessary.

True.
How much should I expect to pay for the stacked plate tranny cooler?
