I spent $250 on mine and got the K&N intake with it. It worked great for a day or so. But heres the catch, they give you a little resistor right, that they say "tricks" the car into thinking there is more air coming into the engine, which gives it more fuel, this is true, because there IS more air flowing in, 2 lbs of boost as an estimate. HOWEVER, since you "don't have to retune your engine" for it (bullsh!t), when this resistor tricks your MAF sensor, it thinks there is a whole lot of air coming into the engine; and bam! open loop fuel cycle, I was getting thirteen miles a gallon all day and I got the black streak up my bumper that those awesome hondas get when overfueling. It was a fun experiment at best, car had a bunch more power, but the sacrifice... I'm happy I got the intake with it tho! So there you go.
