I'm sure this has been covered before but it doesn't hurt to touch base again on the subject. I had a generic CAI on my 03 TLp, 03 TLs and currently on my 95 Accord (this one is just for fun with 5 speed to get suprise looks from people). I would buy generic intake on eBay and put a Injen filter with hydroshield on it. I recently picked up a 03 CLs 6MT and I'm thinking, is it time to go full branded or stick with generic intake and branded filter? What do you guys think? CL has 78k miles so I'll be driving it for a very long time so I'm not sure if generic is way to go again. Thanks

 

Pipe is pipe... or tubing is tubing. If the bends are right and there is a nipple for the crankcase port then it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I haven't seen a knockoff version of the Injen 1481.
And yes there are a lot of CAI discussions and opinions here

 

How about an airaid 3.5 or 4" UBI intake kit. Get a 76mm TB along with it.

 

I'm perfectly happy with my Ebay intake and K&N filter. Had it for 10 years
