I wanted to know what u all thought about what intake would work for the H22 swap in the 6th Gen Civic. I planned on doing a home built one with a K&N AEM CAI style filter for the time being. What are your thoughts on this? Any good ideas? Also just to those who are interested AEM is coming out with CAI's for hybrid Civic's. Unfotunately it will be a bit too long for me too wait.

what's the price going to be on those?
comparable to intakes for the motors that are supposed to be in the cars? I wouldnt be at all surprised to see like a 10% increase in price

I just called AEM. They said to call them back in the middle of January. They said that the 5th gen civic is the first one to get their hybrid intakes which means the 6th gen boys like me will have to wait a while

well i dunno what to say about the intakes. i know aem and the other big shots claim their intakes are tuned for lenght and diameter for maximum hp gain. one other thing i prefer to go with name brands is the fact they are street legal in the 50 states so the P0p0s can do nothing about it ;)
