Spoon don't as yet do an '04 one and whether an earlier version may be modified is a moot point.

Muz does one at a better price, but there are quality control issues.

I'd watch this space for a little while.

This is what I've got (I think) and it's the best buy. The fit is superb.

Honda's accountants probably de-contented something similar, which apparently was seen on very early cars.

You will have to cut a couple of slots for the torsional damper bar, which is not present on the early cars. This is frightening some 04/05 buyers off.

Depends on how much you depend on the car for everyday driving.
I have a AEM V2 CAI, and it is awesome!!! The sound is incredible 2!
But remember with most CAI kits the filter normally sits about 10
