Actually,for the RSX-S,an AEM CAI produced 20 extra HP,per Honda Tuning
Magazine's dyno test.The issue was last year,around Apr or May.They did
flow bench and dyno tests on several short rams ,the two CAIs,and the K&N
filter.They had a lot of nice graphs,too.

The "Bomz" CAI I put on my 94 GSR made a -very- noticeable increase in
power,even below the VTEC point.I believe that has to be more than a half
or 2.5 HP increase.
