really? the noise of an intake never really interest me anymore, that's could be a sign of post-boosted symdrome

Is it me, but I hear the intake at anything over 4K. It adds an addictive throaty sound, not the sucking sound I was expecting.

it you. if you are easy on the throttle, it will sound stock all the way to red line. the deep growl comes from more throttle input.

Just got it and installed it today, sounds pretty much stock except with the throaty sound when you get on it a bit. I'll see how much I like it after driving a bit more and when my ecu adapts to the change.

avallach, I know what you mean by it sounding throaty rather than the intake sound from other hondas with intakes.

the nice sound comes out only on more than like 50% throttle. you're probably pushing the pedal down further to hear the noise unconciously =]. i think i do too especially around the streets, but on the freeway i get better mileage than my mom's odessey so i doubt i'm dropping to 16mpg.
