It sounds mean. words can't describe it but when you start it up from cold you hear all that air sucking in and damn man, I get wood everytime!!! TMI,........... well, I have mostly stock exhaust I removed my mid-mufflers with straight pipe so I have a little more growl on the back end. Do the intake you won't regret it I promise. Here's the visual difference:





Good luck man!

i just got a filter cause i couldnt find an intake. but i know a couple companies that make them now. the filter gives you better throttle response with increased milage. intakes have more gains but dont know about fuel economy cause i aded an Akimoto intake to my 91 civic si and combimed with exhaust it went down, i dont know how it will do by itself.
