yes it is exactly the same as the earlier year models, what are you trying to find out
*edit* ok not exactly the same since yall already have an ap2 pcv valve

Only the 2006 and newer vehicles have the newer valve cover. 00-05 have the earlier valve cover and if they use the K-Pro they must use the 06-09 valve cover ofr it to work.

Well if you want to start modifying valve covers, then you can use any of them.
If you want plug and play, use 06+.
The 04+ have the same pcv valve, so if you are an 04-05 going kpro, you would be more fiscally sound in not purchasing another pcv valve, just take out of your valve cover and transfer to 06+ valve cover.
Yes any tuning (done correctly by a pro) is good, and kpro is cool because you can keep obd port active.

Just to follow up. I did the Kpro over the weekend. Some tips and what I found out.
1. The valve cover and sensors are a must.
2. All AP2 uses same PCV valve so you don't need to get them.
3. The cam pulse plate is reversed thread. The manual didn't say this and I couldn't see the marking since it is against the firewall
4. Take the oil pan off. Or it is a bitch to put on the chain cover with the pan on.
5. Honda monster torqued the crank pulley bolt!

Yup. It's quite a bit of work. For people in non-emissions states, I would strongly recommend AEM. For those of us with emissions testing, the KPro is probably worth the initial headache.
