FROM HONDA WEBSITE

Thanks to special Honda-developed performance technologies, such as the ultra-precise Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system, 3-rocker i-VTEC® variable valve timing, a cold-air intake and equal-length exhaust header, the K20Z3 engine boasts an impressive flat torque curve from idle,

they say we already have a stock cold air intake. my question is what is the difference between short ram intake and cold air intake? and also, would it be recommended that we get a SRI over the CAI because our stock part is better? for the SI that is

 

its the same routing all hondas have....which isnt really a cold air

 

i think the fg/fa's do have a "cold-air" but its still restrictive compared to their aftermarket counterparts

 

barely

 

I think the most restrictive part of the intake is the stock filter and the box that houses it. From what I gather, the SRI leaves the stock piping but replaces the huge and restrictive air filter box with a straight pipe and free flow cone filter....mmkay?
