- Tue Nov 17, 2009 11:02 pm #157011 I have to go to DEQ so you think something like an AEM short ram would be good? How much should i expect to pay and what benefits will i get. Maybe an hp or 2 and a meaner sound?

- Wed Nov 18, 2009 12:14 am #157029 i think an aem for your car would runlike 130$. give or take and it will give you a couple of hp, better throttle responce, a lil bit more sound from the engine and will look uber clean. and its smog legal

- Fri Nov 20, 2009 6:37 am #157466 Please do your self some favor and dont get a shortram intake, it sucks warm air from the enginebay and you lose some power!

Try to get some coldair intake from AEM 2.5'', Injen 2.5'' or a Integra TypeR airbox with a snorkel to the bumper (Comptech Ice box style)

- Fri Nov 20, 2009 1:51 pm #157487 the ONLY thing I like better about the short intakes is that they make vtec louder on sohc motors. for better performance than a short ram, get a cold air intake. You can still hear vtec engage, just not as loud as with a short one.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

it improves mpg and adds hp! It just makes sense ok?

- Sat Nov 21, 2009 7:36 am #157667 hmm ok. Would it be better to try and mod my stock air box to have the air intake down in the bumper instead of it going through all those elbows before it eventually goes into the bottom of the air box?


Kinda like if i crashed by car and broke the bottom of the air box off from the rest of the piping ;)
