I'm doing just fine with my Civic and the stock intake.
go with the CAI 2 fast 2 furious ! This is the only site where I have run into consistent focus on decreasing the longevity of motors so theyll burn oil to increase gas milage short term..... heat is your enemy for longevity.... keeping clearances where theyre intended to be prevents wear and tear and forcefully pumping hot air into your stock motor increases detonation and knock reducing timing and adding fuel. There is a reason why your intakes are plumbed to suck up fresh air on a Honda.... and no they def were not thinking about performance gains only efficiency
