I don't see it that way. Although Honda did a great job tuning this motor, a gain with a bolt on mod shows that there was in-fact room for improvement. If there were no room, then bolt-ons would cause a loss of power.

Honda tuned as best they could to gain the most power out of the motor and still remain within emission standards, keep reliability and overall costs down.

I see where you are coming from and no, there aren't any 30+HP intakes or headers, but 5+HP here and 5+ there do add up. It just takes more time, money and patience.

i gots the AEM CAI, it sounds and looks sweet. as far as performance, i dont know crap about dynos and whatnot, but i have noticed a definate advantage over stock s2k'S with just this bolt-on while racing between stoplights!. I know it works, just not sure how much...

Well, I had the PRM and didn't like it. Its the best sounding intake, IMO, but its restrictive. I ended up changing intakes b/c it was robbing me of power... making the car run really rich.

There's often posts discussing with CAI is best, and I've read most of them b/c I'm in the market for one but haven't decided which to get. Anyone have any dyno results from the different ones? I know AEM has dyno results posted on aempower.com, but I'm really interested in seeing PRM results b/c I've read that it robs power, which is something I'd not be excited about.

Anyone have news on the HKS Racing Suction intake? Checked the HKS site, but it's not been updated. Any news is better than no news, so thanks for any help!
