Good quality, easy installation, looks better than oem intake.

Let me start off by just saying this and a K&N filter really increased induction volume, my god. Sounds like a proper Honda now.The intake hose is very nice quality, but quite tricky to install as the silicone is very stiff and not very bendable…which I guess is a good thing. I started from the throttle body and worked my way up to the air box. The clamps in this kit are polished and great quality. I honestly don’t have numbers on any gains, but it does seem more responsive. I love that this retains the OEM intake box as it’s already a decent design.Overall I’m happy with this setup and makes the daily that much more enjoyable!

It took around 15 minutes to install.It makes the intake a bit louder, specially when V TEC kicks in.I didn’t notice any power gains but it looks very nice on the engine bay+ my MPG increased by 1 to 2 per gallon.Happy with the product..
