I saw the review for the V2 systems, but I didn't see any reviews for the original Cold Air Intakes by the company. Anyway, I am currently getting an H22 put in, but I had one on my F22 and I liked it a lot. At low RPMs and when you first hit the throttle, it was a little bit quieter than short ram intakes that I have heard. However, when the RPMs start climbing (which took a while with the old motor ) it got really loud and also changed pitches into an almost nasty sound. But I personally liked it. I had it on before I put the exhaust on so I got to hear it really clearly, but overall I like them a lot. I didn't feel much increase mainly b/c I don't think any intake will ever give you a substantial power increase, and I didn't have an exhaust so it was still restricted anyway. Hope this review helps

I still like mine. I'm still rocking the slow-as-christmas-on-backorder F22B1, but it get me from point a to point b until my H22 finds it's way under the hood. I like the fit and finish, even though I've had to repaint mine due to an oopps under the hood. still makes the lovely thunk-thunk sound under low-rpm throttle stabs, and the roar and sucking noise at high rpm. all my friends, most with Civics stuffed with GSRs and H22s, love the quote "demonic" tone as the car hits VTEC (not like it does much on the F22B1. just sounds good for 1200 rpm).

i had it on my f23 and on the h22 in my accord....actually, the intake i got for my accord was for a prelude, so it was too big for the f23, but when i put the h22 in, it worked out really well.
i also have it for the mr-s. didn't notice too much gain, but it dynoed out an extra 4whp. my gf gave it to me for my bday last year you honda folks shouldn't have to spend more than $180 for this intake

Yeah there is no doubt in my mind that I would have bought a cheap ebay intake and a K&N filter if it were my money, I just don't see spending that kind of money for a name, but if it is given to me I will take it with open arms any day

yeah i love mine for my f22. I dont even know its there till i start climbing
and when i hit 4k rpms -5k rpms it opens up and then everyone knows its there. I noticed a big difference in speed / acceleration. but now i got to get the bypas valve so i dont hydrolock, i have been lectured to death about it.
i dont mind the aem dryflow intake but for some reason i liked the vibrant performance CAI better(still got it).
