I'm guessing there's an HP gain but does anybody know how much? I put one on my 91 EX 5 speed and it looks great, good fit and DAMN it sounds good! Just curious as to the gain. I put a CAI on my 91 Prelude Si and it doesn't sound near as good as the CB7, I mean I can barely notice it and I swear it feels less powerful. At least on the low end but that's normal from what I hear, top end gain is where it's at.

really depends on the condition of your motor and other mods you have.. but id say probably about 5ish-hp... ive got aem cai also, i agree. it sounds SICK, i love it. hope your happy with yours, just wait til you get headers/exhaust, youll definately feel more pull, i just completed my headers about a week ago -
What exhaust and header did you go with? My exhaust now is relatively new, flex pipe is brand new. I wouldn't mind having a goal to work towards and since I don't need it immediately this will give me more flexibility.
The F22 sounds like a LION where the B21A1 sounds like a kitten.

5 hp is an extremely optomistic aproximation. Probably more like 2-3hp at the most.
Anyway, just as a heads up, many many people have wondered this same thing, and I believe there is a thread somewhere of a dude who base dynoed his car with just the intake and headers on. Might want to search around for that.Why? Because... Life Happens @ 4500 RPM

ya it was just an estimate... and theres a lot of factors that can add into it, climate, altitude, temperature, engine condition (as mentioned before) and other mods. i was being generous with 5hp... but it is possible. at least its not like ebay intakes claiming 20hp gain, BS! im going to get my car dyno'd (hopefully) soon ill post my pulls when i finally do, it will be after i get my h23 intake mani installed finally (its sittin in my garage waiting for some gaskets).Comment

you should really try a car with the intake swap, maxbore or other head work.
intake=good stuffComment

Quit saying headers! Its HEADER. There is only one.
Sorry.. anyways..
Just get an ebay intake for like 30 bucks and get a K&N Filter. Honda-Tech did a dyno test with an AEM and ebay witha good filter.. the diffrence was +/- 1hp.
Soo save $150 or spend that for 1hp. Your call.Comment

i hope your not saying i give horrible advice..
HEADERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
i really dont care if theres an S on the end or not, seriously, pick your battles
i never said the 150 extra is worth it, but to have carb legal parts in cali is a big benefit to me... plus having and intake that looks good in my bay and saying AEM feels sooooo much better than egay.
so in the end i dgaf what you think about my advice, take it or leave itComment

Well when I had my F/a6 it dynoed at 3 more ponies....but with my H22 I got 5 more...and that is with the AEM CAI. If I find what the hell I did with my D/sheets I'll post em.Comment
