Rep Power: 368 interesting. didnt' know they made one. thought they were developing something else but..
I'll await the pics. I think they'll probably charge way too much for it anyway.

Rep Power: 0 it made about 3-5 horses to the wheels... they haven't released the dyno chart... but yea.. they used my car to prototype it so i got it for free... and it's not the same filter as AEM or INJEN... K&N came out with a new filter design which sucks in more air than AEM or INJEN.. so everything is brand spankin' new technology from K&N... the pipe is metal and looks very similar to the AEM pipe except that instead of AEM.. it says K&N with that cool orange and red thingee in the back... i'll be checking back on this thread periodically.. so feel free to ask questions...
Do you have an Ex or Lx/Dx? Manual or Auto? I'm too lazy to look you up in the members ride's right now.

my car was also a test car for K&N and i have an lx auto. they could not develop a CAI for the auto so i get a short-ram kit for free instead.
how much phone tag did you have to play inorder to get your CAI? everytime i write or call i get told 2 more weeks....did you hear that as well?

Rep Power: 0 K&N calls it a FIPK. I suppose the configuration depends on the type of car. I think the pics on the links I poste earlier are pretty close to what it looks like.
PIC OF K&N Part #57-3513 which is the one they say is for 2001 Civic.
