    flipping the lid makes it sound better which is worth it and other then dirtier air filters not much cons to it...

    also I heard this somewhere:

    dyno proven gain:
    1.0 HP with paper air filter
    2.5 HP with K&N

    my flipped lid increases my cockiness by 30%
    it makes me think im a racecar so i speed by crappy cars, and gas it out of parking lots and stop lights.

    The main difference is throttle response... the Hp you get is from less restriction... but after a while of driving the heat will start to hurt performance cause the carb and intake manifold are already hot enough to vaporise the fuel...

    that is only for carbed accords, you have a se-i so you are fuel injected, you can get a intake setup

    yeah so what does the flipped air lid do anyway?
    And what is the best intake for an A20A4 engine?

    for carbed engines it just allows an unrestricted flow of air into the carb.... The air is taken straight into the air filter unstead of being pulled through the fender well --- through some tubing---past a small piece of plastic that further restricts it then through the air filter and into the carb.... make any sence??

    As for an intake for A20A4 get any 92 civic intake it will work. A lot of people have got the AEM one as oppsed to the APC ne because better quality and of course the K&N filter.

    yeah it was kinda a joke. anyway... this will just let alot more air in, just make sure to check the filter more often, and dont have any oil leaks.

    after you flip the air lid, how much power can you expect? and is there a danger of the filter not catching everything (do to the flipped lid)?
