Short ram is a shorter intake that is completely in the engine bay, and the cold air is longer and goes all the way to the wheel well. The cold air one will get you colder air (not air being heated by the motor like with the short ram) and will give you a few (and I mean only a few) extra hp. But if you like in an area where it rains a lot your cold air will suck up water when you hit big puddles and could hydrolock your engine; in that case get the short ram or a bypass.

Learn to search. This is the internet, everything you could ever think of asking has been asked and answered hundreds of times. And it will save you from people calling you a fucktard because you don't even know how to spell VTEC!

Damn this guy must be hated. Ok he messed up the spelling of VTEC but no reason to put his nuts in a meat grinder.
