Good luck and enjoy.

Custom, duties, and tax are hefty... Thats the reason I bought locally, all priced in, and no hassles of unknown fee cost.

I hope I'm not going to regret it. I've seen pics and love the wheelgap-less look.
I just hope the ride won't harshen too much, nor be bouncy on stock struts. From what I read, neither of those concerns will occur, so I hope I read right!

Oh and by the way, it's the best performing intake for the CL-S giving 14whp (and outperforming the AEM, not only in power, but also in build quality). Some may argue it's only downside being that is sounds stock.

The comptech dealer in Toronto is woodbine acura. Their prices are fair but if you search around you might be able to get some better deals. If you want to order things from the states you need to find a vendor who is willing to ship to you via usps ( its generally a little more expensive then ups) and to have it marked as either a gift or reduce the value of the items. I have had this done numerous times and havent had any problems thus far. I have someone who may be willing to work with you so if you are interested shoot me a PM and I can provide you with the info!

haha please try...
this is comptech's design and does give real gains, not just the sound of a beehive that can be given by removing resonators
