sounds really nice I have the exact same car and just bought a injen cai for mine and sounds great... but I have a question one thing I found weird about the car is the transmission its not really that smooth this is my first honda and was wondering if hondas transmissions are like that? thats comparing my 2005 altima V6 which has a smoother transmission..
@juan102008 Yeah in all honesty any aftermarket intake for the V6 Accord will sound the same. Short rams obviously will be louder than CAIs. I can't comment on the Nissan transmission vs. the Honda transmission since I've only owned Hondas. Yeah the shifting is pretty rough on Honda automatics. My 1992 Accord shifts rough, my friend's 1995 Accord shifts rough, this 2007 Accord shifts rough and my other 2011 Accord shifts rough as well. Never understood why, but they do.
@juan102008 Honda uses clutch packs in their automatic transmissions. So it's like a manual transmission essentially which makes them last longer if they are serviced correctly, but if they aren't serviced correctly they go to shit very fast. Some people learn that the hard way. Thats always been a stipulation with those transmissions. **former Honda service advisor***
@woody231979 Thanks a lot for the information I didn't know that since this is my first honda the V6 engine is incredible very refined the transmission works great in spirited driving since like u said works as a manual so it likes to rev and overall very solid car almost as fast as my altima but is more refined only complaint are some interior rattles from the passenger side glove box, but overall great car. again thanks a lot for the info really appreciate it..
@juan102008 No problem. I love Honda's and they are great to work for too if you can find a reputable dealership. I have seen people leave Honda's to go to Ford, Nissan, Gm, etc...and regret it. The quality has slipped a bit in the last few years and it is starting to show in the latest generation Civic, but they have been on top for so long. Plus the tsunami has really affected production in Japan which has had a ripple affect throughout Honda. They will recover though.
@juan102008 Honda owners are usually very smart, self aware, nice people. I always enjoyed meeting new Honda owners. Notice I said, "usually". There are some idiots out there, too. :P Take care, man and enjoy your Honda. I am sure it won't be your last.
@juan102008 One more thing....the rattle in your dash can be fixed. Just need a Honda trained technician to look at it. They can make adjustments to it if it needs it. Otherwise, it could be something simple like something in their rattling. It's normally always something simple that drives us crazy. Take care, man.
I'm pretty sure it would. I don't believe there were any major changes between the 06 and 07. The instructions AEM provided with the intake was for the V6 6MT though, so just be aware of that. It makes the install a little bit confusing if you have an automatic transmission because not everything is the same between A/T and M/T.
@Thecarguy1254 They are really nice. It sounds awesome especially when the v-tec crosses over. Since the video, my friend has gotten a Magnaflow catback, really brings out the throatiness of the J series.
FYI, since this video was taken, it seems as if the intake has broken in or something. It definitely seems louder now than it did when we shot this video which was the day of the install.
Thanks. As the title says. AEM CAI. Very simple and straight forward to install. Only need simple tools for this. Intakes are intakes. Just make sure you get a good filter. Fujita, AEM, Injen, K&N, Takeda.. Those are all just some brands I would look into.
I Love The Way Honda's Transmission Shifts. So Crisp.

I really wish my dad's 06 was the j30. Honda v6s are amazing engines.
