None will give performance gain, if you think it does............its all in your head.

Main advantage is that both filters are reusable.

You might see a slight increase milage, but don't expect too much.

K&N is cheaper then Comptech. So I would recommend K&N.

K&N usually around $40 or so and Comptech closer to $60. IMO I think you can get SOME performance gains if you take out the resonator, allowing better intake.

teknoking, looking at your pics, and want to know where you got the rain guards for the windows. I am a smoker, and I noticed hondas/acuras seem to have a problem with water leaking in when the drivers side window is open, and its raining. My S2000 does the same thing. Are the ones you have stick on, or the ones that just pop into the frame? Did you get them at the dealership, or a store? Any info would be very helpful!
