for the factory intake, you can buy an air filter from places like pepboy, Auto Strauss or autozone for about 20$, just as good as the dealer. i just change my air filter yesterday, cost me 20 dollar with installation at a local oil change center.

I would be hesitant about putting in an intake. Your gas mileage goes down signigicatly and the only performance benifit that I found was a bit more noise from under the hood. I have a drop in K&N now and it works great. Just a suggestion.

Speaking of saving money...
I would advise against you getting 10000k HID lights. You are only paying for more
"blueness" and actually LESS light. I was just reading a thread and someone is actually selling his 10000k HIDs because they aren't bright enough.
Bigger is not always better. If you want to see less and just have your light look a little bit bluer, go ahead, but I wouldn't do it.

and the only reason your gas mileage would go down is if you floor it all the time to hear the sweet sound of VTEC with an intake!
to Da_iLLeZt_TL973: since you have a TLP, I would get the AEM V2 if you really want some power increases. It is an amazing intake

^^^^^agree why buy a new filter if you are just going to get a CAI soon anyway? Just clean it up a little w/compressed air or a huge fart or something.

fsttyms1, one last ? ... Is the K&N RU-2590 the same for the TL-s and the TL-P. Or is the icebox different for both apps.?? Guy at my speed shop said it might be very confused right now
