2002 Honda Accord 2.3l ex 5sp Cold Air intake
Trying to decide on a cold air intake any kind of input would be appericated. And sry cause im sure this question has been abused a 1000 times over.
Run a short ram and use heat reflective tape on it with a pipe to funnel the outside air in, this will give you better throttle response without having it intake hot air.
I am using this,

With this,

You'll want to get a pipe with a 45o angle on it to ram air from the outside in. I think there's many different ways of doing this, you can even make a heat shield to insulate the filter from the engine so it doesn't intake any hot air.

I like the sound of that i was thinking about hydro lock so this sounds like a better idea would you happen to have a pic of this setup and do i just run a pipe up to the filter?

Take what ^Mishako^ says with a grain of salt. Mainly posts unsupported/unproven ricer garbage.
Remove resonator, get a drop in filter. You won't really make any extra power until the car is tuned. A factory intake off a 97-01 Prelude may perform the best with it's additional tube diameter and intake box volume. The factory airbox actually creates a positive pressure wave which can increase throttle response and power. Honda's designs are actually VERY good from the factory.
If you're just after that mad tyte JDM sound, filter on a stick.
Here's a thread discussing some various intakes on HS. There's some very good links/info in here that you should take into consideration before dumping money into something that doesn't necessarily need 'improving'..

Example:
I bought my car with one of those wicked sweet spectre autozone intakes on it. It was loud. And annoying. I got a stock EX intake for a 94-97(I have an LX), and found that it had two additional resonation chambers on it, the lower of which is quite long and had a vacuum/electrically actuated butterfly valve in it that opens to reduce sound. I removed the resonator in the bumper, and it increased sound a bit. I removed the lower, longer, butterfly actuated resonator and kept the smaller upper resonator on the tube because the upper one is a helmholtz design. I feel a BIG increase from 2500-4000 over the big pimpin' spectre intake, it's reasonably quiet, and works well. Better throttle response, too. I may have a line on a stock 97-01 Prelude intake, which has a slightly larger pipe and box than what I'm currently running. There's a thread around here that actually shows the only intake that will increase performance on an H22 over the factory, non Type-S box, to be an AEM V2. This is largely dependent on various factors, but proves the stock intake designs from Honda work very well.

Should be under your factory airbox, behind the front bumper. Check 6thgenaccord.com for a writeup/DIY on removal, I'm sure they have one. It's pretty easy.
