AEM intake installed, I think i lost power
I got home last night about 1130 with nothing to do so i decided to put in my new intake. after about and hour and a half i got it done. So i went for a ride and i swear it felt slower. Now i know i wouldnt gain a bunch of power. but i didnt think i would lose any. It might have all just been in my head, can some of you guys give me your resaults or mabe even dyno charts if anybody has dynoed the aem
thanks

If you did cut an opening for the intake, you could be noticing a difference in throttle response and not an actual lack of power.
If you're sure you did the install correctly (and aren't missing a sock), try disconnecting the battery for a minute or so and then reconnecting it. This resets all the previous air/fuel data from the cpu.

What you may be noticing is the smoother transition into VTEC. The intake adds a bit more power all around the transition point, so the jump doesn't seem quite as extreme. This has the perceived effect of loss of power, but it's there.

So your air comes in through the tiny little cracks between the plastic pieces? I can't see that performing too well.
