1) Install time: bout an hour
2) Overall gains: 7-10 whp for a Short Ram, a little more for a CAI
3) Negative effects: poorer mileage because you'll be on the gas all the time to hear it!

4) Cleaning: follow directions. I think every 15k it needs to be cleaned.
5) Maintenance: see #4

v6accord.com is supposed to be back up sometime tomorrow (fingers are crossed), so you're more than welcomed to check over there if you want.

an intake is an intake... the only difference is cold air / short ram. im my opinion, the A.E.M sticker isn't going to give you 15+hp. like the blue lights i got in the front =).

just get a cold air generic brand?

It's not a question of power gains necessarily, but rather quality. A remarkably high percentage of V6'ers that have gotten these "ebay special" intakes have had them break on them.

Does anyone work hard and buy their own cars and not depend on mommy and daddy to get them their rides anymore.
