Sounds amazing. I hate you now because I want one :(

How much and how was the install? Any tuning needed afterwards?

450 Canadian, and took less than an hour, pretty straight forward. When the negative battery post is removed for a certain amount of time, it resets everything, but when i started it again, it recalibrated itself, and I had no issues... I havent used any tunes yet, thats the only thing I've added was basically just for the sound... lol

Unfortunately, where I live there arent really many dyno's around. But I'm not doing it for power, I just really like how the car sounds now, so thats more than enough for me, lol

Will this car safely run that without a tune?

Nice, I say the K&N is a tad better imo than AEM...I have the AEM and like how the K&N's heat shield is designed...not sure why AEM didn't do that since it's the same company now.

Yes it is fine without a tune, Hondata confirmed this and shows this on their calibration (listed under AEM, same intake)

Typically no Tunes are needed for a bolt on intake.

Sort of....eventuri requires one from what Hondata mentioned.

Thanks for the info. This is the first one I've hear of then that "needs" one. But I suppose it could make sense.
