I have one on my Civic, too, and it did make a noticeable difference, though it's way dirty and it's making a noticeable difference. :-) Banks also makes filters and intake systems. If you do a lot of miles, a CAI (cold air intake) might make sense, though if you off-road, just a filter would be better so you don't have to worry about water ingestion. (A CAI picks up cooler air from below the bumper or out of the wheel well instead of pulling hotter air from the engine compartment.) Adding a Banks Monster Exhaust also helped my D'max; it just breathes better from both ends.
