PS its not THAT heavy as many people describe it. Maybe 15 LBS.

I agree, K&N filters aren't a good filtration device, but that is probably why it adds whatever little bit of power since more air gets through. Overall, I prefer good ol' regular filters for the car since it's my DD anyways.
Wasn't that one guy trying to make a heatshield for the TSX? The one who made the battery tie down. Not sure whatever happened to him since he kinda disappeared after that haha.
Yea, it's not like 100 lbs or anything, but for it to be plastic and pretty useless. 15lbs is a lot to get rid of when it comes to gas mileage in the long run. Only thing it does,
afaik, is that it doesn't make the engine as loud when accelerating and stop some crap from being sucked in there but that's hard enough as is.
