I have a 2103 with 40k miles.

Has anyone noticed an increase in performance or better MPG with the drop in K&N air filter?

I also was looking for CAI options for a 2013 and could not find anything decent. Seems like older gens have options but not much for the 2013. Any recommendations?

You don't get too much of a noticeable performance increase with drop-in filters anymore, IMO. Factory designers have maximized and tuned the intake airflow already.

There is also a risk of damaging the sensors in the intake if you ever over-oil the K&N.



If it's induction noise you seek, eliminating the 'silencer' incorporated into the air tract (Hans471+ will remind me the name of that resonator) will make it louder...

Not so much noise, but if that's a side effect, I'll take it. I'm really looking to increase performance and mpg.

I don't believe you can get any noticeable improvement in MPG or POWER by using a K&N filter, but what you will get is more dirt in your engine. Look up some of the engine air filter tests online.
With a modern computer controlled ignition and fuel delivery system, even a fairly dirty air filter will barely reduce the mpg, but it can reduce the power somewhat under FULL throttle.

PSon't waster your money on those low priced 'Performance Chips' either, on a computer controlled ignition and fuel injection CRV.
