You're gonna love it. I installed mine myself, fairly easy, the first install I did to the car ... Its got a great sound through the RPM range but when you floor it and catch that VTEC ... you will definetly turn heads
PS- As far as performance goes .. I ran a 15.08 bone stock, and a 14.88 with the AEM .. so it must add something. Try removing your passenger side road lamp or if you have an 03 like me remove the plastic thing so it can get more air at the track ...

if 2 cl-s raced one w/ cai one w/ ice box neither would have an advantage, it would be a drivers race

its not like the ice box produces so much more power

The fog/driving light housing on the driver's side. If you remove that, it would act as ram-air, bringing more cold air into the intake.

BTW, I have an AEM, and I love its growl.
