FSport or Joe z+fsport filter seem to be the most popular choices.

Fyi You will not feel any power difference what so ever with only Five rwhp added. If u think you do, you're lying to yourself. It is just the increase in sound.

The F Sport tube looks good under the hood and it sounds smexy above 3500 RPM. It adds about 5 HP which won't make much of a difference.

I have it. I personally feels the shifting and acceleration feels much smoother and that zoomm zoom sound at 3500 RPM + is just lovely. It is a great compliment to the F Sport exhaust because the exhaust sounds die at 3500 and the intake picks up right away.

Overall, this should be pretty good bang of the buck upgrade.

One cons: Your MPG will decrease because you will be addicted to rev past 3500 RPM all the times to hear that damn lovely sound haha...

I know the power wont that much of a difference, but id definatly love to get some more growl out of that v6. I had a 09 civic a few years ago put a k&n intake on it definatly loved the sound.

The f-sport and joe z are the most commonly used intakes, you can't go wrong with either or

Both joe z and f sport will yeld similar hp. If the f sport intake is complete, it will sound louder then the joe z. I personally have the f sport and I'm loving it.

There is $10 bucks sticker. you can make your own intake and put this on. they can't tell the difference.
