Well, the sound is not really as important as a gain in HP/torque. But I wouldn't mind making it lower pitch. I don't really want to make it any louder (not much, anyway). It sounds pretty good stock.

Are K&N intakes as good as AEM?

I've heard about problems with water in both. Is that true? Someone also told me that the car might get sluggish in hot summer weather (Honda mechanic) with one of those intakes.

There's a lack of '07 parts right now, but I'm sure everyone will catch up.

I thought if I could do a couple of minor things that won't void my warranty, especially the intake...

What do the intakes usually cost?

And a "cat-back" exhaust? Any mods would be done by a mechanic, not by me. I don't know nearly enough yet.

I'm new at this. SOrry about all the questions.
