I have this intake it pretty good some are going to say that isnt the highest flow and it isnt but you don't have tune yet it works pretty well just make sure you do tune eventually

A CAI without a tune makes little sense and provides measly gains of about 3-5 RWHP despite the lies the manufacturer says. Use the forum's search feature. You'll find all the info you need.

If the intake doesn't require a tune then that is telling you that you didn't change anything about the flow of air to the engine. As my wife said "so it is just to look pretty then" rather than offering any performance gains.

i was looking at those BBK ones, they look nice, i just want to invest my money into something worthwhile, my friend (owns a honda prelude) bought a cheap intake, and now he has to cut it to fit his car.

I'd go with the JLT or C&L, not sure whether they're available for 2010. They both require a tune. Or if you're feeling like being different you could go with this and get a tuner from AM for the bama tune. Demolet Tunable Induction CAI

This one will still give you a check engine light within about 2 weeks... Mine did and I had it cleared, hasnt come back since and its been 3 months. I need to get a tune though.
