With the engine compartment, I am going for the factory look, without the "Bling" that most modified Hondas have.. The factory XSI intake is the same size as the AEM that I had on there before the swap, and it feels just as powerfull.

Old B16a setup...
With the engine compartment, I was going for the factory look as well. I added the GS-R valve cover because the stock cover was scuffed pretty badly. The factory XSI intake is the same size as the AEM that I had on there before the swap, and it feels just as powerfull. The header is also covered by the factory heat shield (see it in the pics section), so the local cops dont trip if I for some reason get a hood inspection. People have told me that it is the cleanest swap they have seen, even the guy who smogged it said this. He let me smog it as a regular Si engine, just beacuse it looked so factory.
