05 RSX-S Injen Intake Test (CAI vs stock)
We took a bone stock 05 RSX Type-S and baselined it. We made three passes to establish a good baseline. Then we installed an Injen cold air intake and made three more passes. Pretty respectable gains for a $250 bolt on 
Car on the dyno:
Car ready for intake installation:
Intake and new windshield washer bottle installed:
Engine bay view with new intake:
Graph:
The customer was very satisfied with his purchase. His driving impressions were very positive. We are going to install KPro and tune in a couple of weeks to see what we can get out of this clean little car, without going crazy with the credit card

I don't see why not. Pretty much the same thing, with the same length.
A good friend of mine also noticed great gains with the AEM CAI on his '06 RSX-S.
Although, I must say, two hours with K-Pro made the BIGGEST difference in the way his car ran.

Re: 05 RSX-S Injen Intake Test (b19coupe)
Tuned the car last week with KPro and made some nice gains. The largest gain was obtained by dropping VTEC to 5,200. Car is much nicer to drive now. K-series motors make power so easily that it is absurd !
Some IPS cams may be in this car's future.

It has been my experience that short ram intakes make less than CAI's.
