Does the aem cold air intake make any difference on a stock gsr? Or does it just make loud noise.

 

yes it works well.

 

depends on what other mods you have. but itll had a few horse power and make your car sound very good.

 

its hard to feel nething from an intake. its just that sum people say its faster becuz they "think" its actually faster. intake dont do much though.

 

dont forget to take it off when it rains!!!!!

 

You will get some mild gains from using a CAI. You might see an increase of 3-5 hp somewhere in the rpm range, depending on your setup. With a stock motor and no other mods, you will feel and hear a difference, especially in the middle of the powerband, which as known as the AEM/Injen Hump. The most hp gain is noticed in middle of the dyno curve, while a 2-3hp increase might be seen at the peak. So, when comparing peak hp numbers, an SRI and CAI may have similar gains, although the CAI made a significant difference in the middle of the curve.

Living in Arcadia, you may want a bypass valve to avoid hydrolock. When I lived in DC, I always used a bypass valve, but in SoCal, you probably only need it 10 days out of the year. AEM bypass valves can work with an injen system, but would require careful planning on an iceman intake because of it's tapered design. If I drove a 94+ Integra, I would just buy a Comptech icebox, you get a bit of power and don't have to worry about hydrolock.
