So, let me get this straight...CAI...loss of low end power (slightly) but more of a stable increase in the upper band 4500+.? Also, Icebox for an 06? Ive got 1100 miles on my ride and am ready to do an intake or possibly Hondata reflash. Im on a lease though.

Does the AT and the MT differ with MPH and RPM's they go to in each specific gear.
I know the first post stated that they got up to 90 in 3rd and with my 6MT my speed in 3rd is around 80mph and thats just about 7000RPM. Then I can take 4th to 100mph and 5th over that.

I'm still in the extended 06 break-in period, but whether I just let the revs float up to redline, or just nailing it, I get a definite kick and continued stronger acceleration starting at 6,000 until redline vs what's there over the preceeding 500 revs. I can't comment if the sound is any different, becuase I haven't been listening for it.

The engine sounds will reflect off parked cars and houses, making it very easy to spot.
