Did that price include the special foam filter or was that extra?

that's the complete unit - looks like the CT guys are trying to get a little competitive with their competition

if you look on comptech's website, the whole package (headers, intake, exhaust) nets only 10-15 hp and tq.

10-15 HP? that's sad for all those bolt-ons. i guess they're already squeezing a lot out of that engine before mods.

Not really.... The fuel map is just totally programed for fuel economy. Basically the same as the 4-cyl. Accord. Hondata is coming out with a re-flash that will add about 40 whp but you'll lose about 4 MPG.

Not sure what the surprise is here... we've had it for $149 since the day it came out ( http://www.c-c-c.net/CustomCarCreati...xhaustMain.htm )

As the others mentioned, gains are minimal.... hence the lower price compared to their V6 parts....

$269 plus shipping for the Icebox? Damn, even with taxes we'd probably be cheaper.. and there are ways (yes, legal ways ) around that.

For those who actually looked. The Icebox for TSX uses the stock rubber hose to connect to the throttle body. It also has a flat drop-in filter, not a cone filter. That's why it's cheaper. Less material = costs less
