I still want to sell my K&N and use the money toward the X intake, or just get the throttle body spacer and gaskets. I just couldnt stand the hesitation.

How loud is the X? Is it like my K&N? Like a loud sucking sound everytime you step on the gas?

It's loud, but not quite as loud as the k&n. It's gonna still have the sucking sound.

I figured it would, but it least it adds HP throughout the powerband, unlike the K&N at 7000 rpm and robs it from down low.

no don't know any right now, but I haven't had mine very long and I am just getting in to the car thing. I've been driving trucks most of my life. These civics are awesome! I could possibly drive down for the shoot if I get my mods on in time. I am looking to lower it and get some black wheels first off.

You gave Jarred everything I would have wanted. Other than a shift boot, shift knob, what else do you have?
