COMPTECH for sure.
Short Ram sucks unless you go for the AEM V2.

i personally have the comptech icebox for my 06 rsx and im pretty satisfied with it...however i think you will see more gains with an injen cold air..
is there a certain reason why you would want the short ram over cold air?

The reason why I don't want cold air is b/c I don't feel like watching out for huge puddles and chicago weather in general. Plus warranty issue come in play with Cold Air Intakes too. I'm getting the V2.

I think that's why he doesn't want a cold air.

Well since Comptech is out of business or in the process of closing the doors it might be difficult to acquire some parts. Obviously if you are looking at buying a used one then you dont have to worry about trying to find one new.

335i's are very nice and sound great with the twin turbo setup that bmw engineered.

Aco512---- did you have to buy '02-'04 ECU and then K-Pro it? When you K-Pro you don't send the ECU out, right?

How much you spend on the 02-04 ECU and then the k-pro?
Where is the k-pro located(isn't it a seperate box)?
