Default Installed my AEM CAI on my 2002 Si!

I just put on my AEM Cold Air, I love the sound especially 5-6k RPMS.

Looks good! Does it only sound better or does it feel more powerful?

One word: responsiveness.

When You touch the throttle those tires light man. And it feels alot quicker!

I am going to purchase an RSX Type-S Intake Manifold next and that will add even more torque.

the intake manifold will fit the dimensions of the car 100%,
but the question is.. will it bolt to the non-S head?

DONT DO THAT!!! YOU ALREADY HAVE AN RSX TYPE S INTAKE MANIFOLD!!!

The reason there is a torque difference between si/base rsx is because they used the S manifold instead of the base RSX manifold. Dont believe me read around Club RSX. Hope I just saved you some money

They're exactly the same? Well as far as I know, the base rsx has a dual stage, and the type s has a single stage, you're probably right though.

I think I should just swap the head with an S head, maybe later on down the road.

Ok that looked like it was hard as hell to install . How long did it take from start to finish ? Was it difficult to get the intake ((solid piece)) snaked in there ? Did you have to jack the car up or anything special to do this ?

What about some RSX Type R parts? Can you get those yet? Maybe the header and intake manifold and throttlebody would get some nice gains, especially if you got the cams to go with it?

That would probably cost $$$$$$$$$ though
