So its up to you to decide if the extra 100 bucks is worth it. You are basically paying for engineering. I bought an AEM and im very happy with it. . .
Yeah, sorta. But an engineer would probably say "what is the point of changing that was already engineered for simple transporation- the gains (1-2hp) are not worth the troubles and increase in volume. do you think you can do better than the honda engineers?"
That's what my dad says about modifying my AV6, but I disgree. I think the louder sound in vtec is worth it. :thumbup:
