Well...CAI is good....spiralmax....LOL...spiralmax is a piece of
crap...doens't do anything...just makes a REALLY stupid noise.

But 20 hp from a CAI? Wtf...maybe 12-15 and some torque...IF you are lucky,
and if you have some other mods on your car like headers and
exhaust...otherwise expect more like 8 hp...but it really is a good
investment.
You don't have to keep replacing the stupid paper filters! and it helps your
engine run a bit cooler too.

Right guys, you confirmed my suspicion that the Spiralmax thing is a waste
of time, so I'm thinking of getting a cold air intake, but can't seem to
find one for my car (1999 Accord 2.0LSi auto trans).

Also, I posted here a while back regarding a supercharger for my car, but
didn't get many replies. I'm still considering this option as well. Is it
worth it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This was without exhaust or other engine mods,BTW.

The magazine has a website,and the article was there last time I looked,but
that was several months ago.
