Intake???

What intake do you guys recommend for a well rounded gain. I had the Injen CAI but i didn't like the lag i would get when steeping on the gas so i got rid of it and installed my stock air box without the resonator.

By all around are you talking about gains on the lower RPM level too? From what I hear the Comptech Icebox would give you the best bang in the lower RPM ranges. CAI are mainly for only the higher end gain. People run Injen since you can swap between CAI and SRI but for all around gains (since you had the Injen) I would imagine Icebox. To me the Icebox is very similar to removing the resonator but I think the intake box is bigger...not 100% sure.

I have the GruppeM Intake and am happy with it. It gave some gains in HP and Torque over the whole powercurve. Unfortunately it's not the cheapest intake.

If you just want the power/TQ, get something like a header and RT hi-flow cat combo. They will make a VERY sweet difference on your 04 TSX. No matter which intake u pick, its gains wont be anywhere near that combo or even 1 of those 2 components. U hear it from the guy who had/has them.I dont mean to put u off the intake mod tho. Icebox FTW !


Also..... SEARCH before u post a new thread.
