AEM V2 CAI on my accord, but that is sold and will be shipped once i finish the intake i am making. 4" SRI or CAI depending how I feel and how it performs.

Stock, and I'm planning to keep it that way. An intake itself is really just a noise adder and the stock intake noise on the TL is plenty aggressive IMO.

I had an intake on my previous car (an 06 1.8L Civic). It made it sound cool under hard acceleration (it sounded like a vacuum cleaner stock). It also caused a number of driveability issues, so it pretty much ended my love for intakes.

I have an injen but IMHO just save yourself the money and delete your resonator.

Love the way you ended your comment....priceless!


I use a drop-in OEM. My dynobutt is on hiatus on this one. I hear way too many people using these contraptions and saying they get no added performance out of them.

Many people to fail that an intake is what need a motor to breathe. A stock one is only good for the stock ecu. With the JnR ecu, I will bet you that a CAI will make power. The reason why people are losing power or gaining no power is because these DBW cars need a tuning once an intake is installed. That is why you buy the JnR ecu first before even moddin the car. First off, don't buy an intake if you plan on moddifying your car. Buy the ECU first then buy your parts.
