One other quick question... Short Ram or Cold Air? which is better for an A/T that is driven around A LOT?

both are good, if youre worried about water getting into the intake, especialy if you drive in the rain, go short ram, thats what i have on my accord right now, its also little quicker to install

Cold air if u are worried about the top end power (not that noticeable) or short ram if you are worried about low end torque (more noticeable)

i say go cold air. ive had both on recently, and even with an a/t i like the cai better. not sure if it helped, but a little something i did was cut from the battery down and put on a huge filter. 3" opening, actual filter is 8" long

I've had a cold air intake for almost a year now and i like it. my car is also a daily driver and i dive a good bit and haven't had a problem with water getting into the engine. if you put a air bypass valve on it, it helps a little to ease your mind about sucking in water.

COld Air.....
