You would only see a few hp if that. So It's up to you. The gain that you could get you will probably not even notice.

A DIY should be better, since you can route COLD air from outside into the intake, as opposed to the short ram, which is breathing underhood air, which should be quite warm (HOT).

I made a DIY using stock air cleaner box, heater hose ran outside the underhood compartment, no resonator (good riddance), and a K&N filter.

Ask on the integra forums too.

The DIY "Icebox" will give you much better throttle response and the low to mid range power will also be better. I highly recommend the DIY "Icebox".

You can go to my webpage at http://www.geocities.com/bretq/DIY_Icebox_CAI.html for instructions on making your own "Icebox".

BTW, I also just started selling my Icetake CAI which will save you from having to find the material for making your own "Icebox". Go to http://www.geocities.com/bretq/icetake_cai.html for further information. You can also check out the classified forum at https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=140106
