Is there such a thing you guys? I mean can I put one of these on (and there are tons of them on the market, so PLEASE let me know your opinions about which is best from a number of perspectives) without having to cut or trim anything that's stock? I'm looking at K&N, and the V2, but have no idea how best to proceed. And finally, is there a risk associated with driving the car in the rain with any given cold air kit installed? T H A N Ks!!!!!!

No cutting: Comptech, PRM, K&N - but these will give you only small gains but the car will drive nicer in the heat.
The ones that give more gains will require cutting, but you don't want to do this. "No pain, no gain".

Well my car went from 210whp to 225whp with just the comptech intake and v-afc with just the engagement point moved down to 5700rpms but I have an 04.
I'd say it makes power.

I'm with Dave aka The Guru...
The most you're going to see from any in-bay intake is 5hp (on a good day). The most you can expect is better throttle response and a nice growl at Vtec.

I'm thinking about getting the comptech cai for my04...do I need to trim the plastic piece to make it fit or is that for earlier models only??
