Default accord swap for H22 (what intake will fit the best)

My friend has a 95 accord with a OBD1 H22 motor and we are not sure which intake to buy. Oe for an 95 accord or for a 97 prelude or if the V2 will fit and which is better a AEM cai or v2? IF someone has the same swap please help out.

v2 is not all that much better than the origional CAI.....the price doesnt offset the benfits......the one for the prelude should fit into the accord bay properly....id go prelude, cause the piping diameters are different, as previously stated, and the accord cai might not hook up to the throttle body properly

Yeah 97+ prelude intakes fits nice and snug. It doesnt directly bolt in though.

The way i see it. all intakes are the same because if you get the cold air intake, at the beginning you will receive the cold air but as it gets to the intake manifold the air quality is as hot as if it were a short ram intake system. so i would just go for the short ram . preferably an Injen technology intake.

i have a 97+ and the 92-96
the only difference that i can see is the 92-96 i have tapers from 3 to 2.75 inches while the 97+ stays 3 inches all the way.
