I now use one, I had a generic CAI with a good filter on before. I prefer CAI but I participate in racing events that do no allow them in the class I wish to compete in.

If you don't mind cutting a hole in your fender liner then sure go for a CAI. The K&N FIPK is easier to install and leaves no trace if you decide to remove it.

i like the CT-engineering intake. price is a little more than $300 tho (330-350)but i think it cleans up your engine bay, and from what ive read the gains are close to the FIPK. Also its sucks cold air from outside the engine bay.

Its all really preference for the most part. The CT is kinda like a cold air and short ram all in one. Short ram will be easier to install, but cold air typically shows better gains. If its your daily driver it depends cause if your sitting in stop and go traffic on a hot summer day you could experience heat soak with a short ram. When i say "cleans up the engine bay" i mean i think it looks good. I dont have the CT intake yet but i will be ordering one with in the next few weeks. Hondaplease does have a point there is soo much information on different parts out there... just punch CT intake or k&n FIPK into the search bar and see what comes up,.. there are a lot of reviews and opinions already out there.
