And Yes airflow does make a difference. With the stock intake it has to travel through a snorkel into the resonator up through the fender plastic tubing into the airbox into some more tubing and finally into the throttlebody. With the Injen Cai it is a much more direct route and it has been Dynoproven to free up over 13 HP and almost 8 lbs of torque.

Sorry dude you better recalibrate your fancy little scantool
This information is taken right out of the OBDII. Sorry to disappoint you if you have bought into the SRI CAI hype. There is nothing magical here and it's pretty ignorant to say you know any different. The temp reading comes right from the car's own air intake temperature sensor so it has ZERO to do with the calibration of the SGII. I guess Honda doesn't know how to make those?

The majority of the piping of the Injen CAI sits directly behind the radiator! DUH!

Show me the dyno done by an independent source where an Injen gains the HP you are talking about on our car and where the ONLY difference between the two dyno runs is the Injen CAI. I won't be holding my breath.

(Some people get all emotional about car parts!! Too funny.)
