i bought this thing for my accord when it first came out 6 years ago for $200. During the fire in California by the 5 Freeway I got a crap load of ash through the filter which scared me so I took it off. My friends called it the "cheese grader" intake because of all the little holes in the filter housing.
Anyway the good news its cheap now ($50) so you can try it out and if you dont like it you can still use the piping to make a cold air or short ram intake and get whatever cone filter you want.
