Picked up a second hand aem cai for £50, what a bargain! Best 50 notes I ever spent. For those who are toying about the idea, go for it, you wont regret it. I did the hondata mod to my standard airbox a few months ago and to be fair I did notice a better throttle response and it was louder on vtec, but its nothing compared to the aem cai. Managed to fit it in about an hour or so. Make sure you feed it from the arch up to throttle not the other way about ( could have saved about 15 mins ). No need to remove bumper and I didn't cut any of the arch lining.
Took it for a spin (spine tingling at 6k). The noise is immense, alot louder than listening to it on youtube. So addictive though so you won't be driving past many petrol stations.
I would recommend a new set of spark plugs too as I noticed the car became very smooth on crossover with new plugs and maybe its my imagination but the noise on vtec did sound different. Saying that, mu old spark plugs were doing the car no favours, they were well carbed up!
