    It's a nice-looking setup. As soon as I saw it, I thought it might not be wide enough, but apparently it works great, so that shows what I know.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    wow i did'nt know that the size of tubing played a hand as to how much gas you use. I figured that if you had more air you would use less throttle. then again i did'nt have an fi accord.

    The Air-Fuel ratio needs to stay the same, so if you bring more air in, you need to add more fuel, too.
