Thanks for the input. My main concern with the warranty is how local dealers will handle the hondata.

K-series power...gotta love it, i know i do know..lol..

but when i bought my CAI i wasnt thinking about the install..now that i think about it, i think i could put an AEM in about an hour..now that i know what im doing.. get the Injen CAI, my homie has one on his S and they give you another water bottle that way you dont have to remount anything...

i think my next mod will be either a header or exhaust, i have H&R springs..just gotta put them on

That is a great mod. or do the cams and intake mani and hondata all at once. also the header is a great way to gain hp. I have the jackson racing header and i noticed a difference with that.
show me a dyno..where it puts down 20 extra hp to the wheels across the board. aem claims 20 extra to the wheels...but thats probably peak hp. they do that all the time..and advertise they get 20whp when it only happens in a instant and usually at the end of the powerband.

20whp isnt worth anything if you only get it for a split milisecond.


the reason why i said 8 is because if you averaged the gain across the rpm range...it would come out to be 8whp. and THAT is what you are feeling, and That is what matters. The derivative of a curve.

I agree that it isnt thru the enitre power band. But that doesnt not mean that it cant be felt and it doesnt make a difference

Who gives a crap FutureProspect? The ONLY point that should matter is that we like our cars. No, we dont think our cars are boosted, the only way we will think our cars are boosted is when we get a turbo on. I have a base model and while it's not a Type S, I love it and dont think it's boosted. By the way MI4inKuwait, congrats on the AEM, glad you like it.

Hmmm...OK! I'm in one of those morbid moods where if someone pushes me, I'd rip out there eyes, spill there intestines, shove the intestines in there throat, then proceed to skin them alive while there screaming. And finally pour salt on the peeled body to hear them scream some more...Oh you were kidding? well then i take back everything I said...woopsy! The STi is a fun car though.
