Ok currently I have a K&N drop in, Would it be better to just stick with that or go with an ebay CAI? Honest opinions please

My brother had an E-bay on his 90 lx and it was a piece of *****, plus I have heard that until you do more bolt-ons and engine work, the k&n will be about the same(hp wise) as a cold air.

cai = trash. waste of money. don't buy it.

cai does nothing even with bolt ons. In fact the bend makes you LOSE HP.

I learned all about intakes with hondas...they dont really do squat. It made my honda cars louder when you mash the gas...In fact I always ran stock airboxs when possible but with my last engine swap the stock aib box inlet tube was to small for the throttle body so I had to use a cai...I painted black so I didnt get the "ricer bling" Im sure you gain a few hp but honestly on a stock engine it usualy doesnt make 1/4 times much different in my expierences....id rather spend money on a of road h pipe sinces its about the same price as a good H pipe

I have had only 2 cars where the cai made a difference. A miata with a jackson racing cold air induction. RWHP gain and TQ PROVEN DYNO results was significant for hp to weight ratio. And an LT1 z28. Don't ask me why it dont do squat on our cars.. but it just dont.
