I bought a K&N Drop-In high flow panel filter for like $40 shipped. I have noticable gains in throttle response and acceleration, and VERY noticable gains in fuel economy. I have actually seen damn near a 3 MPG increase. The fliter is re-useable, it was cheap, and took longer to open the shipping box than it did to instal it. The only downside I have come across, is that it is in fact a bit loud when the MIVEC kicks in, and not neccesarily a nice, good, throaty loud. It's more a loud hum. So if you keep your foot off the skinny pedal a bit more it is nice and quiet, but when you need to pass, it gives you just that wee bit of pep that really isn't enough to make a difference anyways lol.

Here is the link to the intake. Well worth the $40, mine has almost paid for itself in fuel savings alone: Amazon.com: K&N 33-2392 Air Filter: Automotive
