Don't waste your money! I put the adaptor on and ran a K&N with no improvement. I've since gone back to the stock aribox and a K&N flat filter. Same performance, nice stock look. You will not get a change in sound over the stock box either, to get this (Honda sound) you'd need a single plate throttle body on your 7.

If you change intakes w/a newer one, or remove the emissions you pretty much have to run a cone filter.

They certainly don't look stock, but most people think mine looks alright .

A cone filter won't help a stock -SE breathe easier.
The big restricion on our cars is the AFM.
Unless you go with an aftermarket ECU and get rid of the AFM altogether, but then you're talking a fair bit of $$
