No matter if it works well or not, their sense of humor with the pictures of the two dogs mounting each other is hilarious.

I was looking at that intake before i bought Xephyr's CAI. I asked a dealer's opinion and he said it seemed a long ways to suck-in the air. But it does look kool!!

Instead, I tookout my fake fog lights, installed a mesh screen (gutter gard from home depot) and real fog lights (like Silverknight).

Well. I'ld like to believe I getting colder air.

That is a great idea. Unfortunately it would not be worth the exra cost for me to use it only at the track. If it was a rainy day out..I wouldnt trust that intake for a sec. In the meantime..I'll stick with taking out my road lamp =)

It would kinda take away from the sleeper look our car has. I'd like to see some dynos though. Under applications they list Honda Accord 98-00 V4. It should say I4. I don't know if I trust that company.

Rice!!! Real racers just pull the headlight out of their car and run a huge ram air funnel from the front...or you use the ghetto-style heater hose to ram air into your short ram.

the dyno does no justice for that product cuz the intake is for when your halling ass the air rushes thru the filter but if u dyno it even with a fan in front of the car you wont say that much of a gain
thats what fmis(arospeed claims)
