barley any....you will be adding a noise maker to your car ...

 

I won 3 cars with this upgrade to the same sohc as mine.. and it sound's fantastic

 

you'll lose low end

 

Get a CAI from EBay and replace the filter with an K&N filter. No need to waste the money on a 'name brand' intake when you get one that is a lot cheaper and still see the same gains. Although, the gains will be minimal if any.

 

youll be able to run low 12s with an easy 150 dollar upgrade

You won't gain very much

Its slightly better than a short ram, but some people here have done studies of the temperatures of the engine bay while the car is moving, and the temperatures are not that drastically different.

lol sound

its an intake its not gonna be like some roaring thunder blow off valve haha

 

not worth to put in more money on an intake if u already have one. SRi , CAi not a big difference and both will make a sound.

 

plus you gotta watch out if you live in an area where it rains hard and have deep puddles.

i agree...

 

CAI horsepower gains, like all modifications, depend on what other mods you have. If you just want more airflow, get a K&N drop in filter with bigger inlet piping.

My buddy bought a ITR in 2001, and he purchased spoon cams and gears, Spoon headers, and AEM CAI. We went ahead and installed everything but the CAI. It pulled like a S-O-B, but after we installed the CAI, there was a small but noticable difference in the torque and when VTEC engaged, the sound was deafening.

DON'T GET A ******* K & N FILTER..

That .5hp gain is not worth, the extra dirt and dust in your engine
