Yah, 24 K on it. Has a couple of dirty spots but can still see plenty of light through it. Im going to go till 50k then replace. Will replace at 50k ..

Anyone think an AEM cold air or regular air cone( so basically I remove the huge airfilter unit and replace with after market cone) on my civic HX will help with Horse power or Mileage?

Thanks

I don't think you will see any significant improvement in either.

Double the MPGs and triple [at least] the horsepower.

Nah, save your money. I have the same exact car. Love it.

The best and cheapest, actually has ZERO cost is to:

Keep your tires inflated at a good pressure. (I go to 40psi)

Don't use a heavy foot.

Don't go over 60mph on the highway.

For all those who say they don't see K&N on expensive equipment...seen LOTS of racecars with K&N. I bet those motors cost at least as much as a Duramax. Untill I get a used oil analysis with more than the average silicon in it (and my last one was right at average with a just-cleaned K&N), I ain't worried about it. That being said, my truck has no MAF. I suggest that a K&N is neither as good as some people say, nor as bad as a lot of people say. Mine is filtering just fine, and my truck runs nice and strong. I found no difference on the butt dyno with an Airaid MIT and K&N panel filter, but I know it flows more air. A 5,000+ pound truck with a 4.7 ain't gonna show much difference. I know if I put one in my Ninja I would have to use a power programmer to compensate, or run so lean I melt the motor, so they must do something good for power.

My BMW came with one and it was quickly consigned to the bin, the best place for them. Racers rebuild engines regularly, they don't care about a bit of dirt in the oil.

You can get some serious money listing it on Ebay.

Not always true, I know people who have race engines that are almost 15 years old.
