There isn't much stock piping in the stock intake setup...... not even sure where you could attach a filter....

If money is of concern and you want a noticible gain, just remove the resonator.

yeah just remove the resonator and get a K&N; or you could go to autozone and get some of that cheapo piping and grab some couplers along with that filter.


damn you guys are lucky; no MAF sensor RIGHT ON THE box

Do it the right way and just buy a sri or a cai. They aren't that expensive.

RSX Intake will not fit a TSX in anyway shape or form...

Pulling out the stock air-box and replacing it with a cone filter will probably lose you horsepower, but it will maker it louder...

Honestly, you spent at least 20,000 + on a car, dont cheap out on 200$ for a Proper Cold Air Intake

yep, paying for a slight powerloss, and having people to notice it from 3 blocks away, is really

if you want to jus replace the stock filter i got a Spoon filter i can sell you, only used it for about 3-4months. was a big difference in comparison with the K&N drop-in filter. i had both and the Spoon felt like i did a complete intake installation on the car once i removed my resonator box.
