Default short ram vs cold air

which kind of intake should i get for my car short ram or cold air intake?

the two brands i am deciding between is AEM or Injen or which kind would put out the best results?

i have a 94 accord ex with 4-1 cusco headers, custom 2.5 in exaust, and 75 shot nitrous.

also can someone tell me what the difference between the two is?

Also, you should read some of the previous treads about this matter by using the "search" button on the top right of your screen.
Short ram is good, good power, slightly warmer air around it.
Cold air is good too, same power (maybe 1/4 of one horsepower extra..), by sucking "fresher" air coming from under the car. CANNOT be submerged under water if you don't have a bypass installed on the intake tubing.

Cusco supposedly made a header for the JDM F22B, but everything I've ever seen bases this on 1 or 2 eBay auctions. This picture is one such example:

short ram = hot air intake (sucks in the engine heated air and has less performance gain.)
cold air (usually goes somewhere behind the bumper to where the cooler air actually is, gives better performance)
