If I go from the stock air box to a short ram intake on a LS/GS, will I lose torque or hp in the lower RPM? I understand short ram sucks up hot air, but doesn't the higher air flow make up for this?

i always thought that anything was better than the restrictive stock air box??? i may be wrong tho... just dish out extra 70$ and get cold air intake.

It's suposed to make more power then the AEM...well the comptech version. I like the sleeper look and you won't hear you VTEC kick in so loud.

I hope you are right jwmav!

I don't want to worry about hydro lock with the cold air intake, beside it is too hard to install that sucker for me.

 

well CAI are very good...If it rains alot in your area or floods...then its not a good Itdea...and if you do get one, I have an AEM bypass valve for a 2.5" intake never been used for $40+ shipping..haha

 

That's the only downfall . But they do make good power gains.

 

i'ts been pouring here for a week straight and i've been driving everywhere with no problems, if you fully submerge it then you hava a prob but make sure you keep the fender lining in, the only people that i've heard of having hydrolock are ones with no fender lining

 

yeah I didn't have my fender lining in...mine stalled and that's when I took mine out. And I don't like the sound of my VTEC kicking in.....I'm not a ricer...I mean a racer.
