I have AEM CAI for my Accord and Icebox for my TL-S, and I would say this: since both give similar amount of gain, but if you intend to have exhaust system and/or header later on, get Icebox! Why? exhaust give good amount of noise combine with AEM CAI noise, the noise is little too much for me for daily driving.

the gains in HP are minimal between both. If you want the stock look and sound go for the CT Icebox, if you want non stock look and alot of sound go for AEM. I have AEM.

I have a stock engine on my 03 TL-S
is it worth it to switch out the stock intake for an ICEBOX?
I won't be doing anything else to the engine, so is this $260 worth while? I did a lot of searching and could only find discussions on which is better and disputes on HP gains, but for me, on a stock engine, is this mod worth it at all?
-Is this icebox really better than my stock dual stage type-s intake system?
-Will I feel any low end torque gain at all? or just a little high end?
-Is this warrantied under the Certified warranty program since it's a Comptech part?

The icebox will give u good power throughout the whole RPM range while a CAI would be better in mainly the higher RPM ranges. Personally, I think the performance difference isn't really anything. I would do CAI over again if I had the choice. It sounds amazing when ur car hits VTEC.
and for those who say a CAI is too loud...?!?!?! You can't hear it under normal driving conditions. You can hear the sucking for the first 30 seconds of driving or so. Other than that, its only really noticeable at VTEC.
ANNNND go with the Injen CAI. I have AEM, and the bracket that holds it to the car broke so i have a nice huge hole in my CAI. Have to get something to put over that soon.

yes i think even some dealersdhips install comptech it is the direct oem replacement it even looks a little like the oem air box, if u want a aftermarket look go with Aem nice sound also
