we installed that in my friend's 2002 Accord V6...
haha dynos on their cars proved +3awhp.
i doubt we'll get past 3.
D17... a sad engine...
edit: It sorta makes a small turbo "woosh" sound when you slowly depress the gas pedal at a certain RPM. For the accord its between 2600-3000rpm... Try to find it.

Rep Power: 321 man i tryed again today but no one showed, guess they took the day off or somthing....but i went ahead and installed it on my car and let me tell you...it wrks. able to get chirps in 3rd gear now...with a passenger in the car ! ! !...in third i hit 80 miles so quick it wasnt even funny....this is worth the buy i think IMO I'm still going to try and have it dyno'ed to see the gains on paper ...but if your waiting to buy i say go ahead...I'll try for the dyno again on monday or tuesday...
sorry about that guys...
o ya the the sound is cool to...it sounds like a low turbo spooling i thought that was cool as well...
install was easy...I didnt have to replace the hoses it came with either..omly problem i had is that my SRI didnt fit on after cuz mine is made from a 96 civic..I made mine...the newer ones should fit though....mine didnt fith cuz of the nozzle placemwnt for the NOS...it was up to high now and hit the hood...for people who have it in a different place then mine it will deffinatly fit...
for track use i would say run with out the intake and boy will you really hall ***..I did and wow what a difference ...
I didnt get to try it out with my NOS cuz the bottle is empty but i will soon...
IMO GREAT BUY...if that helps any...will get back to you on the dyno though...just for kicks does anyone want to run me...you must have intake headers and exhaust...i want to see if it really made a difference...i want to do this on sunday....night time is better for me...let me know...
