uh no....you crazy.
test pipes alone have shown 5whp gains. i gained 8rwhp from just spoon n1 exhuast.
with kn filter, test pipe, vfac tune, expect 15-20rwhp depending on the tune.

I am trying a K&N CAI + Mugen Test Pipe + VFAC II! I currently have the K&N CAI piped to the front side vent that I cut out + a TP + my intake manifold coolent bocked and I feel that the car is much more responsive with the mods. My ass dyno says at least 10HP. If VFAC can give me 5+ more or just bring the power on earlier, I would be happy.
I am going to buy a VFAC very soon. I am thinking that my better flow should make a lower VTEC engagement possible while kicking in just as hard as the stock engagement point. I am thinking 5400RPMs at WOT. I'd like to add a header a little later on and maybe try 5000RPM at WOT. I probably wont mess with the A/F ratio too much unless I find a guy with VFAC tune skills. Anyway, what do you guys think?

also... maybe not quite as high of gains if it's an ap2 though.

ok, anyone have an 04+ running the spoon air duct? and have pics? I have had 0 luck finding information on whether it fits the AP2 since it was designed for the AP1, I know it has grooves to slide into place on the front plastic on the bumper but I don't really want to notch a 450 dollar part to make it work when it's already notched. So if anyone has fitment pics that would be awesome.

Does the Spoon snorkel even produce any gains?
