I guess because of engine/intake layout on the VQ30 you guys can't get any good CAI setup (besides ooglie) without drilling holes in stuff, which sucks. Anyways, I thought it might be interesting to post of some pics of my AEM CAI install for y'all just for the helluvit.
BEFORE: Here's the stock engine bay. The intake tubing / filter box juts over to the right from the engine.
STOCK Engine Bay
AFTER: And here it is with the stock intake and filter box removed and the AEM CAI installed.
w/AEM CAI - Side Shot
AFTER: Here's a close-up shot of how the CAI extension goes down below the engine bay and into the bumper area. You can see the big K&N filter on the tip, and this is also where the resonator box used to be, which is removed during installation.

Just wondering, since I might be needing to purchase an automatic non-Nissan something soon.

Well actually you have to average it out, since this flattest stretch of road I could find in my area was still a bit lopsided. 7.4/7.8 (slightly downhill / slightly uphill) averages out to around 7.6s, and with the Denso Iridiums and AEM CAI the improved 7.2/7.6's average out to around 7.4s.
I did one 1/4 mile run and got 15.46 @ 95.6, but this is very optimistic because this is the slight downhill direction. I couldn't do a run in the other direction because the road in that direction ends in a "T" and the road is only 0.4 miles between the T and the first light in the other direction. Too risk if you need to slow down in a hurry, and you will. If i did it in the other direction it would definitely be probably 16.2x-3x or something and then average out to the high-15's, which is about what I should be running with my mods. Minus the spare and jack and plus a good launch I should be able to run 15.7's or 15.8's I would imagine. I haven't been to a track yet to get a REAL time.
A Max/auto with power-shifting at redline will be a little bit quicker stock and will also be quicker with about the same mods (mid-15's instead of high-15's)

- Neuspeed headers
- Comptech Tl-S Exhaust
- Neuspeed Upper strut tie bar
- Neuspeed Billet Lower Front and Rear Tie Bars
- Neuspeed Rear sway bar
- Neuspeed Front sway bar
Ahhh, gotta love adding bars to your car! I remember my bro adding like 6 bars to his first 95 Integra, he said the handling was amazingly good even with stock struts and springs. It makes your car a sleeper pulling 0.9g.
He had upper strut bar, rear strut bar, rear sway bar, front sway bar, front/rear tie bars.

I have a similar list too, but it all depends on what happens in a year (see thread below). In a year I'm either going to upgrade to a 2k2 Max SE 6spd, or a TL-S, OR I'm going to keep my Accord V6 for the long haul and basically run the thing into the ground.
If I'm keeping the Accord here's my list:
Neuspeed (or Comptech) F/R Sway Bars
Comptech Headers
Comptech Exhaust (maybe)
UNIChip ECU Enhancer (can get 20-30 fwhp gains on our cars. 10-20 fwhp depending on mods when tuned for 87 octane, and 20-30 fwhp depending on mods when tuned for 91+ octane)
Even if I got a TL-S I'd still probably do about the same mods, just a little further down the road, and the same thing for a 2k2 Max
