Get an ebay intake and swap out the shitty filter with a K&N.

More money in your pockets in the end.

Save you the most money?

1. Resinator delete, aka diy CAI, replace to K&N filter.
2. Ebay intake, replace filter to K&N as mention above.
3. Buy AEM, Injen, DC intake for $120+ and it will still perform the same as #2. Unless you have smog, number 2 would be the best bet.

Any 6G accord will have a absolute pressure style air metering system, and OBD2 programming. This responds well to an aftermarket intake. Like the quote said the filter is the most important part. Diameter, restriction, and filter area will play the biggest part. Collection point is also a factor.

Also while you take that ugly restrictive intake tubing off, you may as well clean that throttle body since even with a stock intake after many miles they tend to get dirty, and a dirty TB can even cause a headache.

All that said I went with the AEM (short ram). It has a good filter, pretty tubing, no BS installation, and reasonable price. In the end as far as HP goes a K&N drop in filter would probably net 85-90% of the same HP gain, and it isn't much. I have no dyno numbers to use as reference. Just an educated opinion.
