Default AEM Short Ram? N/A for ITR?

Is there no aem short ram for our cars or do I just buy the VTEC integra short ram since theres no difference between the other models and the ITR in the short ram design?

Why do you want a short-ram? It doesn't do jack... if you want to spend money, get Monster replacement filters from http://www.aj-racing.com .

I don't think you should buy one for a different model Integra because the diameter of the throttle body won't match up to that of the Type R. If you really, really want a short ram, buy a used AEM cold air and take a hack saw to it.

I've never used short-ram as all it does is suck on hot-air. (ITR engine bay gets pretty damn hot!) I think stock air-box is just as good if not better than short-ram in your case. I would personally save up that money and get a good header down the road.

I have the DC DAC, which is a short ram type intake. I dont know if it makes any more power, but it makes nice noises

All intakes make nice noises...
I posted a thread about this a little while back

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=57557

It didn't help a great deal though. I had the DC DAC, sold it and now I'm waiting for my Injen CAI to be installed

I am probably gonna buy the DC extension piece that makes the DAC a true cai, and use it for track days, racing, etc.

A short ram intake is OK as long as you build a heat shield around it and guide some cold air to the filter with a flexible pipe...

put the kn ru-3130 filter on the stock tube. it's not that hot once the car is in motion. Don't waste your money on piping like aem's, injen's, etc.
