Question:

air intake system or filter?

i have a 2010 honda accord coupe 2.4l l4. i would like to so some minor upgrades to the car to pull a little more fun out of it. i was thinking of an air intake system but with all the computer technology, airflow sensors, and fuel injectors in modern cars that adjust the amount of fuel being mixed with the air would an air intake system even make a difference or even get me any better fuel economy? would i be better off buying a high flow filter?the 2.4l coupe has an extra 20hp than the 2.4l in the sedan (honda says it is because they installed a high flow exhaust to the coupes) would that aid the intake system for pulling out some power and better fuel economy?

Answer:

Try Degree deodorant. I use Secret during the winter because I think it smells better, but then switch to Degree during the summer because it works better.
i sweat a lot 2 I've tried everything, nothing worked i tried lady speed stick and sinc i tried it, it really has worked
go to a dermatalogist. and tell them that you have underarm sweating and they will prescribe something called drysol or something like that. you apply it to your armpits before bed everynight and it stops it (as long as you keep using it). that's what i use and i havent sweated since as long as im using it every night.
A high flow filter won't make much difference but neither will a replacement intake. At least the high flow filter will not reduce the fuel efficiency in winter like an aftermarket intake will. Aftermarket intakes improved fuel economy in the days of carburetors but it is not possible for them to improve fuel economy on modern electronic fuel injected engines. One of the problems with aftermarket intakes below the $1000 range is that they try to improve engine power by reducing intake restriction, which is controlled entirely by the throttle except at wide open throttle, and then is already low. As the first source points out the benefit of reducing the restriction is very small - too small to feel - and only appears at high rpm. If you spend more than a few seconds a month like that there is something very wrong with the way you drive.
A new Cold Air intake system will only add between 4-7 horsepower depending on if you have headers and an exhaust system. All a CAI(cold air intake) does is free up horse power. Same with headers and exhaust. They don't create horse power only free it up.Most people with intake,headers, and exhaust only experience a 10-15 hp increase with all 3 mods. So if you put a Cold Air Intake or a Short Ram intake(this just makes your exhaust note different compared to a cold air intake which frees up hp and changes the note.) you really wont notice any different speed gains.
