Cai opinions please

I have 11k miles on my 06 and am ready to re-flash and Cai.

I figure this is the most bang for the buck without getting into header, K-pro, etc

My question is noise and durability.... being an older driver...58, yeah call me grandpa....I still have my lightening reflexes though...and my teeth...lol.

I do not want an extreme noise maker.....

What is your experiences with CAI and noise....I realize it is not going to sound stock...but I do not want a POS Neon with 29.00 muffler sound either...


Thanx in advance

I've been driving with a K&N CAI for about a week now and have been very pleased. The noise is only prominent when you are at wide open throttle. Otherwise it's very liveable. The car has more of a snarl now, and revving is freer and easier. It sounds great to me.

Per JTso, the K&N is the way to go. I've noticed no loss in torque, as has been reported by Injen owners, an the design and construction is better thought out. FWIW, I also have a Comptech header and the Hondata reflash.

I've been really happy with the intake so far

i second that reply! i too got my k&n typhoon for 65$ shipped (off amazon.. used) hehe way worth it! even comes with the drycharger unlike the injen...
i also put a few slits in my grill cover on the side [mines an 06 also]

these slits would theoretically force air into the slit.. through the intake.. and back out the slits that are already present in the fenderwell

with these two

The CAI is near stock when driven lightly, but dip into the throttle and listen to the engine come alive. The sound is deep and throaty, not buzzy and annoying. I think you'll enjoy it immensely.

I have had my injen CAI for about two weeks now and I really enjoy it. The sound is awesome at WOT and its pretty unnoticible with normal driving conditions. So I highly recoment the injen. Its also easy to install.

I've had my chrome Injen CAI for about 2 years. Love it. It's only loud at WOT. Nice HP gain as well.
