we should qualify that statement:

"your 'cold air' intake is likely not doing anything ... on your honda."

there's no doubt that on some vehicles, notably domestic v8's, air is
being sucked through severely choked down piping that would restrict a
1200cc import, let alone a 5 liter v8. in that situation, "cold air"
can definitely make a difference.
