Rep Power: 0 yah some people say you need to cut a piece of the fender wall, but i was able to squeeze the tube in without cutting. taking off the front bumper helps alot to.

Rep Power: 0 yah all good intakes, but personally i like the placement of the injen cai 
encased behind the bumper and away from the radiator/engine bay so it stays nice and cool.

No get a no name for 100 bucks, it all works the same man!! but make sure u have a good filter on it, 400 bucks for something that give u 1hp more, not worth it. install is easy, just need to be brave and have a little muscle

Rep Power: 0 installing the injen definately requires removing the bumper...
personally the position of the filter, injen over the aem.. feels safer...
on the other hand.. aem carries the bypass valve...
yeah expect $400...

Rep Power: 0 Okay I'm skipping all your replies
I'd recommend Autobas Peformance to purchase your Injen intake as you WILL NOT find a cheaper price, if so, complain to Pink! For installations I would recommend Kustom Sport Racing Development as you will not find a cheaper installer. He is professional, has his own drag car and knows his stuff about Hondas due to numerous engine swaps.

Rep Power: 0 I'm sure you can install it yourself with the right tools... but since it's the injen cai you're talking about, you'll have to remove your bumper...
buuuuut i would suggest getting some form of SRI instead of a CAI for your auto... seems to work better... if it's an SRI you're installing, i might be able to help you out with it if you want

Rep Power: 0 Generic Air Intake Systems ARE SAFE. The difference between AEM/INJEN with a GENERIC air intake system is that AEM and INJEN research about their designs, they are also CARB certified, with Generic air induction you will not get a CARB certificate. Indeed you need a K&N filter for maximum performance, Injen and AEM includes the K&N filter so that slike 240 already, so basically its $140 price difference. There are thermo resistant paint on the piping so the air is cooler.
arrrrr! don't spend more money gettin it install, just install it right infront of the store u get it from!!! thy'll guide u thought it, and if ne thing happens just go tell them WTF, ur intake sucks and thy'll help u out. lol just an sugguestion

Take it to the Judge, explain the the judge that California has more of a strict emissions than Toronto therefore if these intakes are CARB certified to meet Calfornia laws, than I think it would be appropiate to use a CARB certified emission product.
