Hello first post here. I have a 1999 civic si with a ctr b16b I'm looking for a cold air intake I've searched and found an aem hybrid intake part # 21-5007c. My question is should I just put a k&n panel filter and call it a day, or is this aem hybrid intake worth it? Thank you all in advance

Short Ebay pipe and a velocity stack. You can even stick a K&N filter on that. Otherwise a drop-in filter in the stock airbox would do it.

Ok thanks for the reply. If anyone has anything for sale let me know.

cold air intake. the motor is a top end motor. you will notice more of a difference with that than a short ram.

Well with that aem hybrid intake it says b16 or b18c5 swap .. Does this make a difference? And will this fit my b16b? I don't want to make a 200 dollar mistake.

b18c5 is the type r. which has the same manifold design as the ctr b16. (not like the gsr)
so I dont see a difference. do they show any pictures

If you'll browse the all motor forum you'll learn this very quickly:

99% of the time, on any engine, a short ram intake with a velocity stack is the best across the board intake for ANY ENGINE.

3" tube + Velocity stack and a good filter.

The only way to improve upon this is to tune the short ram at varying lengths. Other options are to have a 4" tube stepped to a 3.5" tube, stepped to a 3" tube at the Throttle body.

Cold air intakes are NOT the best intake, simply. Short rams generally perform better on all engines.

Okay, I'll look around and piece it together. A short ram will be better for the lake Tahoe winters. Thanks to all who helped.

Spending 200.00 on a metal tube and filter is just a mistake period! A tube is a tube no matter who's name is stuck to it.
