Shh, this is one of the biggest secrets out there.  Do you want
all the Honda guys to catch on and start kicking our asses?

This low cost mod can make some really sick horsepower.  I did
this to my B13 SE-R and you can see the results here:

Since that photo was taken I've replaced the stock intake hoses
with 3" mandrel-bent titanium tubing, with a top-mount intercooler
and the car now makes 247.5 rwhp and can run the 1/4 12.87@137.
