I'm happy with it... but then again it's fall now, and the air is always cool... in the middle of summer I could definately notice some heatsoak if I was running around town and alot of stop and go traffic. I did powdercoat mine black (vs. the polished finish it had) and it cut down on heatsoak a bit, I can actually hold my hands and touch the pipe even after an hour of driving... the stock K&N I could NEVER do that, polish finish got HOT!

anyhow, I'm happy with it for now... last weekend we got 7 inches of rain in 24 hours, and it served as a perfect reminder of why I won't go back to CAI like I had on my RSX.... for the area I live in, flash floods are common occurance and this past weekend was scary when I couldn't get home without driving through areas of standing water... I'm sticking with SR until Comptech releases their Icebox.
