The noise from short ram or cold air intakes comes with the territory, it's just a fact, nothing you can do about it (except put the stock box back on). My CAI is loud as hell, but I got used to it.

As far as losing hp, what makes him/you think that, is this according to "butt-dyno" readings? If so, it may be all in his head. Did he reset his ECU after installing the short ram? He should have, if not that may be the problem...

I was told that you should reset your ecu after every bolt-on install. Instructions are here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=131182 The "SEARCH" button is your friend.
