The price is right ($214)...with installation by a dealer or your favorite shop no more than $300 tops.

Go AEM and save money by forgetting about the bypass valve. I installed mine on my own and that also saved me some dough. E-mail me and I'll try to give you some pointers on installing it. Approx install time 45minutes. AEM is the best without a doubt.

i would recommend getting the bypass valve, i have seen a few cars(mostly integras) with intakes that have sucked up water and blown a hole in the block the size of my fist. For the $50 it is worth it and then you dont have to worry about getting a new engine installed

AEM all the way. And I hate to say this but...Landspeedracing.com has a price of 195 for the intake and 39.95 for the valve. SOLD! I ordered on a Sunday, it was here the following Sat. (NY), installed Sunday, go faster Immediately! You will love the sound. I cruise at 40 on a lot of my trips in 2nd gear w/ the window down just to hear the thing!

Injen is great and the polished chrome looks NICE in the engine bay. The heat shield isn't out yet, but its easy to replicate their design. I'm trying to do a better custom CAI with custom piping, so I may even sell my Injen if someone makes a decent offer. Otherwise I'll just leave it in and work on something else

I would go with Xephyr if you need a hot air intake to blow smoke up your ass

Never buy Xephyr anything, he fucked us all over here and he is still in business as if nothing happened.

I've seen the AEM CAI for the CL on Ebay a bunch of times for really good prices...check it out. Some guy might be selling them as a business out of Ebay.

I just got my AEM CAI w/bypass valve in the mail yesterday. I ordered it from Tim (Snook) and it came in 4 days. I can't wait until it's installed.

The unmentionable "X" man may not have OUR best interests at heart but he still made a pretty decent product. Wayne at Park Avenue still had a few red ones left and he has already paid for them. If you want a good product from a reliable source then try Park Avenue ACura in Maywood NJ. JMO.

GT is right, the product is great, the product manufacturer sucks, and is non-existant.
