Your answer, Injen or AEM are almost the same... It is a matter of price... Injen asks less for its CAI then AEM.

Is it removalble... yes, but why u need to remove it....(unless if you need to repaint the hood).

Is it worth the $399 I paid (installed) , yes and no... I still got rock chips on non protected parts... If I would ever repaint then no... It's not worth it.

Yes I like it...

I just bought the Injen CAI from ACP and all I can say is

In my opinion it does nothing for the mid-range but when it kicks in at VTEC, it rules. The sound is awesome.

Buy it, your won't regret it.

I hear a lot of people talk about the sound with the CAI and hows it's much better. Is this CAI something I can install myself?, how hard and how much does it cost. Also, where do I get one?

I could tell you, but I’d get criticized by some here for “bragging” again.

AEM and Injen are almost identical. I went with the Injen b/c, IMO, the blue matched a little better.....

I'm glad I got it..... I love it. Go with either the AEM or Injen... you'll be happy. If $$ is a concern, get the Injen, if you don't care, then either is good.....

Since no one else here will say it. Any CAI will do...its a 2 1/2" pipe that goes from the TB to the wheelwell. If you wanted to make one yourself...it would be as good as any other....is it worth it to make one yourself? How much time do you have? Otherwise, the two major ones are AEM and INJEN.

I would defintely give Park Avenue Acura a call. Maywood, NJ area code 201. He may have some X-types left. If so they are worth the $200 price.
