Cold Air Intake is a longer intake that goes down to your fenderwall by your tire, theerfore letting more cold-air in. It's not that great though because you lose HP because it takes longer for the cold air to get to the engine.

Injen Short Ram intakes are good.

Hope this helped

Well it's supposed to put more, and denser air than normal into the engine to make it breath better and use more fuel to balance it out so that the car can run a little quicker (not faster, but quicker) and be more responsive. They do help to a degree, but you gotta have other stuff modded like custom exhaust, a good header, a larger throttle body (what the intake connects to), larger fuel injectors, and a larger fuel rail. Sure one part will help, but it needs other parts to go with to bring out it's fullest potential. But an intake and exhaust are both good starts, they do make a differance, even if it's little.

LOL, I'd agree. :o Well depends on the lady I guess, but yeah, true.

You did help though with your comment, got the ball rolling on it at least which is a great start always. And good point about the not as much hp gains with the length of a cold air. I'm just kinda detailed with things I explain, so forgive me.

personally, i went with aem cai n greddy evolution exhaust when i had a civic... the performance of both of them are pretty impressive but the exhaust was just way too noisy (although i liked the sound and the look of it).. and the car responded faster (just like silvery2kcivic said) after installing them

i resent that statement at the bottom of ur posts y2k....im a high school punk, and the reason i cant make a well tuned import is cuz i have no money. I still can smoke a v8 in my lude though.

Obviously you drive a road toilet then. If you didn't that statement wouldn't bother you.

BTW, that only applies to ricers, so unless your a ricer then just ignore it.
