hey i should have posted this before i ordered it a few hours ago..i think i paid $279, i know Injen makes a quality product, but is that a good price? anybody know or have any suggestions what i should have bought instead? i can still cancel it before it ships monday. the cold air intake, chip/02 package, and sway bars are are im lookin to put in for now. i think these will make a pretty decent gain in perfomance maybe 25-40 hp? its worth the $ right? thanks

Injen is just fine.
and there is no better intake for the money probably.

and as for sway bars, all you need is a rear one, and I strongly suggest the progress
adjustable 22mm one.

if you do get the hondata reflash and the Injen, I suggest keeping the Injen in the CAI
mode, not the SRI mode due to heat.

so also adding the Hondata intake gasket for our motor is a great idea with the reflash and intake.

The INJEN CAI with the MR technology is a great setup for the TSX. As was mentioned above make sure to look into the Progress 22mm RSB and the Hondata reflash for some great mid range power.

If you need anything in the future we also have specials for Acurazine members. Most of our pricing can be found on our web store in our signature.

hey thanks excelerate...i checked ur site u got mad shit on there...if i need anythin else ill def check u guys. thanks again

25-40 hp gain... i highly doubt that. i would say an intake would get you 5 whp max. Hondata reflash will not really give you too much to your peak HP, but it gives you much more power throughout your mid range.

its amazing i have it and i love it.....sounds really good too!

CAI is nice, just be advised that CAI makes engine noisier, more vulnerable to water, and loses some low/mid range TQ and a bit of power but makes up at the top. I like my own set-up, but it definitely gives less HP at the top end. Think about it for a moment, man, there is CT Icebox as well

i have an injen intake for sale if you're interested

Exactly why I went icebox. The power gains with the CAI are all top end. How often are you in that rpm range? The TSX is an N/A 4cyl, and needs the TQ down low.

^ Honestly, I would suggest a header for your first mode... Mine made some significant difference

After reading all this CAI and Injen system, I really wonder if all the bends helps in the air flow. The longer piping helps in some ways to give better "torque" and I have been puzzled why the Injen set up gives it more ponies too. I think it is because of the cooler climates you guys have. Over my side, tempearatures are 23 to 35 degrees C and keeping the airpod under helps, but worried about the rain & floods.

I currently used HKS intake. Not the best design as it is sponge foam. One of my friends actaully just mount the mushroom head direct to the rubber hoes and gets real quick engine response in HP and loose some torque. However, it seems to balance off his HKS exhaust system. I suspect to used foam air intakes, the longer pipes helps. I am now thinking of going back to stock airbox. Seems it gives the balance of HP & torque. Problem is that the intake roar becomes a whimper...

Anyone can tell me more about the Injen system?

^ u can do what I did: drop K&N drop-in filter into the stock box and remove the resonator. No TQ loss, no noise, no harassment from police, $40 budget.

s001y, it sounds like what you really want is the Comptech IceBox. The peak gains are not that great but the whole torque curve gets a nudge up. The inlet is larger and there is no resonator box so it picks up a snarlier sound when you're on the throttle (vs. stock anyway). The airbox is also larger which dissipates the vacuum lag caused by suddenly stomping on the throttle. This results in improved throttle response and earlier availability of torque. This is also the main advantage of an SRI.

s001y

Hie,
Thanks for the advice on the ICE box with a reserved tank for the vaccum lag. I used this on my old CL1 Euro R with H22A engine and the longer pipe helped with torque. The reserved airbox does give the snarl as u described. For the K20, it seems the air intake has a different characteristic.

Some jap makes ones have this reserved box for the sudden throttle. So far, i have not found the right balance for this K20 R engine. The HKS free flow mushroom seems great for sudden stomping and looses some torque. I think the iVTEC is compensating the variable to give the balance.

I suspect the Euro R outlet exhaust system play a more critical role for the intake. One experiment i did was to install in a air line high rpm fan. At peak, it gave me 3hp more, but it seems at high end rpm, the fan disrupted intake (when fan is off). When the fan was on at low end, it seemed to be flooded with air. A pity that my car is constantly in hot weather. You guys having colder climates, would benefit better power.

s001y

Yup, my stock airbox is with K&N filter and also looses the resonator. Gives this little "howling" when at VTEC range. To me seems the best balance air intake. I was thinking of actually having the flat K&N filter exposed by removing the bottom stock air box. The dynamics seem to alter a little.
I have another idea in mind. Maybe I should try it out.

Thanks for the advice though....

s001y, if you went that route with the bottom half of the airbox gone, wouldn't that accomplish the same thing as a short ram system?

Will you ship to Canada? Can you provide more information on the CAI (condition/color etc...) any picture?
