hey, a fariliy easy question. i've installed cold air and short ram intake on my 95 civic cpe, so i know how to do that specific car. I'm installing a friends 99-00 civic short ram. is it the exact same thing as far as like placement of pipes and resonator behind bumper? and i assume since its a short ram, i can just leave the reasonator in and not bother with the bumper removal? thanks

 

i just want to know cuz i wanna know about how much time to expect to install. if its exactly like 5th gen, then it should be only 20min. but prolly 1hr if i have to take off bumper and resonator. thanks

 

somebody must have a have a short ram here on a 6th gen civic

 

Well, I have never installed a short ram, but I don't know why would leave the resonator on. I would take it out, it is just dead weight. Taking off the bumper is easy as sin. Shouldn't take you more than 5 mins.

 

Short ram decreases horse power and raises engine temp.

Tell your friend that he is a dumbass, and it should only take about 10 minutes to install anyway...

 

omg, dood dont call my friend a dumbass, ***. dont give me this "hot" air crap. if cold air is the thing that gives you hp gains, then why not stick your CAI in a bucket of dry ice? please i have a iceman cai and short ram, not difference in gains or losses. JUST FOR SOUND

 

short ram i would think would increase torque a bit on the low end but the gains nearer redline wouldnt be noticeable

 

EK resonator recirculates hot air, so it does not help.

I have a short ram (ARC) and I yanked out the resonator, replacing it with semi-rigid aluminum ducting.

You may lose a bit of power on scorching days, but I prefer the superior throttle response of my setup to the AEM (which feels like someone tied a boat anchor to the throttle).

 

Short rams don't do anything to the temps... Mine's wrapped and it still doesn't do a damn thing.. The install is a no brainer.. like 10 minutes if you don't know **** about cars..

 

but isnt the reasonator separated from everything else once u take the stock airbox and tubing off, as in my 5th gen? so it wouldnt hurt anything by leaving it in there correct?

 

Intake for sound??? If thats the only reason u want an intake then get a Ebay valve thing that sounds as u accelerate,and also an electronic Blow off valve.
