Post What's the best CAI in the market for TL-S?

I would assume anyone that fits the CL-S would fit the TL-S just fine.
Anyone know which one is the best and how much?
Or should I stop by acura-cl.com?

I would get the AEM, forget the bypass.
Everything fits exactly where it should and it's the most solid, once installed. You'll never tell the 1hp difference in brands, so just go for quality.

But, it's going to be noisy. You'll definately be leaving the luxury in sport-luxury sedan. IMO, NOT worth the trade off. Headers + mufflers don't make nearly as much noise. Plus you'll lose the ability to stealth speed. Sure it sounds good... but, it's kind of out of place. It's like hearing indy car sounds coming from a minivan.

That's just me though. I'd rather be fast, and look like a classy pimp than faster and look like a boyhood racer.

Cool



AEM is definately the leader, but I will be getting a Xephyr intake myself. It uses the AEM by-pass (which I want) already installed and also uses the K&N filter. Like Closer said, there's really no differences in HP, so I'll save some money and get the same performance....

Actually, I was thinking more of the noise.
Do they all sound like what closer described? worse than a comptech exhaust?
That would not be acceptable for me.
If that's the case, I'm getting headers only.
It's a front wheel drive automatic for the pig's sake!!!
I even get my ass whipped by my wife's car from a rolling start.
