OK, to keep your hopes up, new info. to report. Gerry's Honda mechanic friend took a brand new AT Sport at the dealership and removed the entire stock intake for him. A new system is now decided upon. It will be straight (no 90 degree bends), will come right off the TB, angle just a little downward, and put the filter right under the brake fluid reservoir. So you say "Gee, that's just the same as the stock intake- why should I be interested?".

Answer- the stock box and piping has sharp bends, sound baffles, a lot of restrictions including the paper filter that has to be replaced, that will not be there in the new PRM system. The filter will be in the "cold air sweet spot", right in the discharge of the under-hood air scoop.

For those worried about hydrolock, all you have to do to kill your engine is to drive into hip-deep water and you will get exactly the same result as you would with the stock intake. That means, no worries.

I will be testing the prototype as soon as I get it. Will report right away- he intends to ship within a week. This will be absolutely clean and trouble free, and I am very happy that this will be on its way so soon. Those of you who have been waiting will appreciate what the wait has brought about.
