hmm, these are one of those times i wished v6accord.com worked. cuz there is a longggg sticky on all about this stuff. oh well. installation time isn't long, can do it yourself if you have patience, it is alittle harder than short ram since you do have to get "under" your car for the filter.3.0 said:
maintance is easy for the filter, just clean when you think its getting dirty. use your judgement on this. actually look hehehe
oh yeah and about the "hydro myth". if you plan to get the bypass valve, just get the short ram. (another imfamous sticky post over at v6accord)
about the dropping part, the only negative i have heard about it that concerns me is about the strain it puts on the tranny. but who knows.
hope i helped
