congrats on your new car. you might get about 1hp and .5 lb/ft of torque with an intake. is it worth it? i have one cause i like the sound. i wouldn't put a cold air intake on, it accumulates too much dirt. i would go for a short ram with a heat shield. good luck...

If you donnot have r/c cables in the back of your head unit, it will be a pain in the ***, and will not sound as good, so your wasteing potential of your amp. I am not sure about the 6 disc changer, you would have to take it out, and check it out. I am just trying to be honest, not tying to rain on your parade or anything, sometimes you can really f#ck **** up if your not careful with car audio, you could end up frying speakers, subs, and headunit.

You meant RCA output...I made the correction for your...anyway, back on topic, congrats on your new car qik1. My dad bought an 05 SE too back in Feb. Just like HondaSales said, you won't get much of anything with the short ram. It's good for the sound and that's about it.

Yeah intakes for our cars are only good if your going to get nitrous, or serious internal work, unless you want the sound, it doesent really whistle, its more raspy.

Also, pulling out head unit can be a pain in the **** in our cars, so look at some DIYs, and take it slow, cause there are some screws in weird places. Not sure about that 6 disc cd changer, thats why i say take it slow.

I don't dought that you can do a professional job, i have always been like that with car stuff, taking it slow, as not to screw **** up, cause sometimes i get carried away, and thats how you end up with blown ****, and regret.
