i was readin over @ clubrsx.com and saw the points it got compared to the aem cai, and injen intakes, looks like it doesnt do much ? true ?

 

I know the injen and aemv2 cai makes lots of good power.

 

depends on the power you want to make. if you care all about top end get a cold air. if you want a very reponsive throttle response, then get a short ram. I have had a AEM CAI and now I have a injen short ram.

 

but it says, performance points: 0 !? is that true?

 

ok, well intakes really dont do much. I have a nuespeed only beacuase it makes Ivtec sound louder(any one feel me on that?) so i pretty much think that intakes are just to make youre car a lil' louder and look better.

-2003 rsx type-s
-bone stock w/ nuespeed intake

 

Minor gains. Maybe 3-4 hp from a short ram, 6-7 from a cold air.

 

thanks i purchased a aem sri, for 45$

 

so short ram for lower end power and cai for power a lil' higher through the power band? i want the throttle response, but also gotta worry about hydro-lock. Is the difference at low rpms really that diff. between the cai and the sri?

 

i believe it doesnt seem different @ low rpms but, when mid-high end kicks in, its a beast

 

is this so even taking into account the piece needed to avoid hydrolock? (name slipping my mind...)
