O.K. So I just got a 2k2 Civic EX 4dr. Yeah yeah don't laugh. Wife wanted a 4 door for practicality, So I said it had to have a VTEC. I figure, why can't I have my cake and eat it too?
Anyway, Does anyone recommend a good cold air intake - PARTICULARLY the filter? There's so many out there, which one actually flows the best? Long or Short?
-AEM, -K&N, -A'PEX, -AIR Dynamics, -OBX, -DC Sports, -DAC, Comptech, -INJEN, -Jackson, -Stillen, -ractive, -HKS? Others?

I don't want cheap crap - although I've never seen crap that was expensive - come to think of it, I don't think I've ver seen crap for sale.

Thanks

 

Long will relocate it into the wheel well. This may give you the nice oportunity to suck water into the engine if that is how your area is. However, it also is the coolest air.

The short is in the engine bay.

The all flow really well, Most of them use the K&N air filter on there tube.

AEM and DC sports I know for sure use the K&N.

 

I live in upstate NY - It does occasionally rain - I guess short would save me money (by less chance of hydrolock).

 

as long as you drive sanely and don't drive through a river or a 2 foot deep puddle you shouldn't have to worry about hydrolock.. damn all these rumors..

 

I fully agree! And if you are still worried about hydrolock with a CAI then get a bypass valve.

 

Thanks much...

I do like the fact that AEM dyno tests their CAI's and posts the results online.

I don't think I'll have much of a water prob. here. And if I ever move to a place thats too "moist", I'll just have to redo my intake I guess.
