It's like riding a 2 speed bike for years, then throw your self on a 10 speed. You haev no idea how to ride it until someone tells ya how. SO your engine needs to adjust to the new filter and loose it's old way of thinking. (that's just my opinion)

*grins*

I'll let ya know how it is after an oil change or two. I do plan on getting a CAI next year.
I was very intrested in buying it about 5 months ago and posted up some questions about it in the forums. I went from very intrested to very.... unintrested. What I basically got from my research is that while the K&N drop in does allow more airflow and better sound, it does let more dirt into your engine. Honda does not put air filters in their cars that will make it sound louder or go faster, but instead filters that, well... filter the best. That was Honda's purpose for putting in the stock paper filter. It saves a lot of crap from entering your engine that the K&N would allow. More air flow means more crap in your engine. Honda wants to keep their cars running for as long as possible- they have had that reputation for a long time now. Basically, I decided against the K&N because I plan to have my car for a long time and if Honda knew of technology that would make a better filter for their car, they would have put it in. Thats why I think the stock is best.... for me at least. If you want more info, do a search on it in the forums. There is a lot of great information on it.
