Best brand of Cold Air Intake?

as i have said time in time you are just paying for a name and a powercoatign job
all intakes are the same.. sure some may have some heatresistance type material on it.. but you can always coat that your self.

agreed but like vinnie pointed out some are 50 state legal. so you pay for the name and a dot sticker.

If you don't live in **** Germany... er, i mean Cali, thats not a problem though.
Honestly, a good filter can cost nearly as much as the whole damn Injen or AEM intake kit (ie. HKS.) It's not worth the 2hp performance gain if the filter they give you is made by a 7 year old slave laborer from tissue paper.
P.S. Cliff, i think we all just got tired of flaming.

if i were you, i would dreamel the bottom of the stock box of and stick a new panel filter in there, i did that the day before i put my cold air intake on and i noticed no differece between the hacked box vs the cai. they both make the same sound too.

All these people speak the truth. Filter type/quality matters more than design or brand of the intake. And cold air vs regular makes little difference on this car. Also butting a simple drier duct from the front bumper straight to the filter has almost the same affect as it blows cool air right at it. Even the stock intake box is not bad with a k&N drop in and some holes cut. Money is better spent elsewhere

So lets say you have a 60mm TB (KA24) and your intake pipe on AVG has a square opening of 42.2mm (assumption for stock KA24 piping), an after market intake pipe that is perfectly circular can flow through 60mm (AEM). Although the velocity of the larger diameter can be slightly less in efficient at lower RPM's there is much more air density, and volume that the stock intake , allowing more air through out the rev range.
After market piping over stock intake piping does increase HP and Torque an average of 3lb/ft, and 3 HP through out the rev range. Simply because larger diameter and smoother contour not only allow for increased flow, it is the amount of denser air flow that is achieved (atmospheric volume).

i was running a oem integra filter for a while.
then i was running the oem 240 airbox with accord piping.
then i went to autozone and got a 90* bend made by um..."spectre".
and am using that with the stock airbox but on the passenger side where the battery used to be.
i feel no gains in power or torque, just engine bay space.
