Default 97 Accord Performance

Hi. I have 5th gen Accord EX 4dr 4cyl. I'm thinking of adding the AEM cold-air induction and a Tsudo cat back exhaust.

Questions?

1. Does anyone have experience with these products on an Accord?

2. Will this give me a reasonable performance boost on a budget?

3. Should I just use a K & N filtercharger or will the AEM really increase my HPs?

search for aem.

as for Tsudo (say "pseudo" :chuckles: ) exhaust, no cat back really makes that much (ie noticeable) hp

The AEM Intake is really nice and will give you a noticable difference. But many say that just a cheapo intake off eBay will do the same when combined with a K&N brand cone filter... just take off the shitty one that comes with the cheapo CAI and put the K&N one on there...

Despite what ppl say tho, I went with the genuine AEM intake, it should be arriving at my house today!

The combo will allow the car flow alot better. You will notice a good increase in HP, but then real soon you will want more!

they have test results on short ram and cold air intakes. Specifically with the AEM V2 going against the Injen.

Vtechaccord01, thanks for that website, I was wondering about CAI's now that the H22 is blown (I have to say that in every post). Am I reading it wrong, or are the short rams producing more horsepower than the more expensive Cold air intakes?
