Perhaps he wants to eke out more power?

no aftermarket intake, cold air or non cold air will produce any noticable horsepower. Just louder noise, and in a SUV? but hey it's a free country

Why did Honda install it in the Ridgline?.

If you're looking for that, maybe just get a better air filter. K&N leads the way in this area, Fram has one (not sure if it's any good), and also I think AEM sells just filters only too if you're looking into it. Another mod you could go for can be getting an APEXi VAFC/VAFCII. There's a thread on it (albeit limited) here: aftermarket performance

If you go this route, and you are squeamish about wiring up your ECU, I'd have a reputable shop do it for you. Also, take it from me, have it tuned at a shop that has a dyno with a wideband. It won't do you any good to install it and not have it properly tuned. I have it on my Prelude and it gave me pretty good hp/tq gains across the powerband, along with a better a/f distribution. I also adjusted my low and high-cam VTEC engagement points for a more linear delivery and lower engagement point.

Did you put your flame suit on before you posted?

Even though you're asking where to find one , the only answers you're going to get is "they don't do anything".

Fujita has one - I'm not sure if it fits the '03. Check their website.

I've seen some CAI's for the MDX.
Might work for your Pilot.

Here's one link from acuramdx.org
http://www.acuramdx.org/forums/showt...old+air+intake

and a dedicated accessory link just for Acura's.

I just checked on Ebay and they have several for the Pilot. I did my search with "honda +pilot", no quotes and it found several CAI's.
