most cais can be done reaspoanble well and cheap on your won. Do a search for CAI's there is a thread running the last few days that provides into to use a prelude CAI kit on a 7. Seems nice.

There is no popular cool air intake kit for the FC, most everything of that nature is done by us (there are a lot of threads in the archives about this, also search...I know you hate hearing that but it'll answer damn near anything ) custom. You'll also find that parts for the FC are NOT cheap so if you want the best be prepared to spend some money (aka...DON'T BE CHEAP, it's not a Honda so don't expect those prices ). Good luck on whatever you do, also if you search for exhaust sounds there are quite a few files on here of some of the systems.

P.S
Welcome to the club.
