I'm sure it'll keep the intake pipe and the air inside cooler but as soon as it enters the intake manifold and passes the tb it'll be just as hot as it would be with a normal cai... the air really heats up in the mani.. before it gets sprayed with fuel.. the best way to get cooler intake air beyond a cai is to get a heat resistant spacer between the head and the intake manifold and to take off the coolant lines running to the tb (only in summer not in cold areas).

The best materials for spacers are phenolic but I don't think there are any companies producing them for honda's though... endyne or hondata sell a jetcoated intake manifold gasket that's supposed to drop temps significantly...

Just remember you gots to add more fuel... the computer should be able to accomadate the increase in density but you never KNOW without a true a/f guage...

Oh.... and what's "spage age"??? jfwy
