Does anyone know anything about the OBX Air Intake System for a 2.2 CL? I am thinking of buying one, but I'm not sure how much it would actually do for me? (horsepower, fuel economy...) I'm thinking of combining this with a Flowmaster muffler. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

The intake/exhaust combination is probably the best way to start upgrading your car. I don't know much about OBX, except they seem to be lower priced. AEM and DC are probably your best choices for intake. Expect 5-10hp increase. The silencer box really kills the stock intake. As for exhaust, the Flows were really designed for larger motors. I had a Dynomax (forgot which model) on my Integra and it sounded great. However, don't expect more than a couple horses extra for the exhaust. Plus, the Flows are loud, real loud and not like a small block Chevy rumble, more like a rice pipe.

I'm not mocking your intellence, but have you heard an import with a Flowmaster muffler. I would think that it would sound more like a rumble than a buzz?!? I'm aiming for a low rumble, not that stupid buzzing sound.

Hey, I'm just offering my opinion based upon my experiences. Has nothing to do with intelligence. Also, what sounds good to me may not sound good to you. I hate the buzz/fart sounding mufflers too, but you must realize that flows were designed for exhausting V8's. Your best bet is to go with a system designed for 4 cyl motors. If there is an import speed shop near you, see if they have similar cars with exhaust that you can listen to.
