aem V2 if you're not afraid of hydrolock. Most agree that it has the best gains in any application, but they dont fit in most engines because of a ridiculous shape. The do make one for the J30, but if you have an 08, I'm pretty sure they arent running J30s anymore. So you'd have to wait a while. Which accord did you pick up? The 08 or the 07? I know a lot of people are picking up 07s for nothing now that the 08s are out.

I got an 03' with navigation and six speed. I wanted something cheap but still nice, so I found one being sold for 14K. I have had it for almost 2 months and love it, absolutly no issues. I was contemplation on the K&N, Injen or AEM V2. I have heard alot of positive things about the K&N though, esp. the sound u get from it.

I love the new ones compared to the old ones. Has a slight fast back look to it. They need some serious lowering though.

V2 definitely, my cousin sold his 03 V6 auto for an 07 V6 6spd this past summer. It's so much faster in manual. But you're going to see much bigger gains from the V2 on that application than you will from the K&N.

BTW, how many miles do you got on your accord coupe?
It had about 70K. I hope to put at least 200K on it. The thing has no problems. Just have to make sure to change the fluids. I need to buy a spoiler for it, as it looks naked without one.

You should be able to put on 200k easily. Our family had a 2000 Accord 4cylinder went to 297K with no major problems. Would have kept going but got into an accident. Only frequent oil changes.

How many miles were on the 03 accord when you bought it?

I have a 04 coupe 6 speed navi. I'd go to v6performance.net for answers regarding your car. AEM v2 and Injen are the 2 most popular. I personally had the v2 and loved it.

V6P.net is good indeed. I'm 25til4 over there. Enjoy the christmas present. It seems that regardless of age, i've been asking for car parts for christmas for the last 10 years of my life.
