Haha... well i'd love to but I won't be home to see my truck for another few days, plus I don't own a digital camera. If you can hold out for another week i'll get my buddy to take some pic's after we get the headers in.

I swap between stock setup (summer time) to the open air cleaner (winter time). Depending on how hot the headers get, I may swap to full time stock box. I don't know if there is any difference per say.... Just makes some cool sound in the winter time. My truck's gas gauge is messed up so I can't give you mpg info.

Well I can't tell you if there really was a power gain or not. I could tell you what the but dyno says... but in the real world that doesn't really mean much. If there was a difference, it isn't anything spactacular let me put it that way. Your probably better off getting a drop in filter and call it a day. I assume that most of the people do it for looks.

I actually don't run a K&N because it flows fine with a regular one. Keeps the cost down too.
Mine came with a piece to hook that hose into the air filter on the bottom too however, I just taped up those holes and used a breather due to the fact I couldn't get it to stay in and liked how the breather looked way more.

Yes they are MSD 8.5mm wires. I needed to replace the wireloom and didn't have black but had some blue left over from a Honda project so I just used it.

Seems to work okay. Honestly though I can't really notice much if any difference between it and stock. However, I've never seen a difference on anything by changing the air filter other than sound. I have a K&N CAI well SRI on the older Accord I didn't put the whole CAI on as I was afraid of water getting in it with it that low. Then I have this on the truck and a drop in K&N on the newer Accord. I've never noticed much of a difference.

I don't like how this sucks soo loudly but I do like how it looks. That's why I run it. Might have helped a tad bit but not much of a difference when it comes to feeling it.
