I was thinking about getting the AEM cold air intake. I found out that optauto.com is getting the AEM short ram in stock tomorrow (3/8/06). I was wondering from people who already had the AEM cold air---how does it sound compared to the stock intake? Louder? Deeper? Anything like the 99-00 Si with an intake? Also, are you noticing any problems with the sensor? Thanks.

cold air will be deeper - louder for the most part. Cold air will also produce more HP gains because it's getting air out of the engine bay. I'd be leary about a site saying they can get the short ram in stock. Aem has quoted me as being backordered for up to 3 more months. No one supposedly has them.

I have always had the best expirence with Iceman Intakes...Dont know if they have a 8thgen intake yet though
From tests that I've read, Weapon-R makes an awesome CAI. Their short-rams outperform most CAI's as well. From what I've read it's because of their filters, I am probably going to buy a CAI from AEM and put on a Weapon-R filter. When I emailed them, they did say that they are working on their CAI for the Si's.

filters have a lot to do with performance gains. it can make or break an intake system. I only trust K&N, maybe a few others, on my car because I know that they filter enough small particles to keep from entering my engine. The best intake is probably with no filter at all (less trestriction).enter801 said:

well i don't think the LX/EX will have a short ram intake. I tried different designs and there is no way to fit anything because of the battery. You'll either have to relocate the batter or the other option would be cold air.
Basically with my results, you just need a 90 degree elbow and attach an air filter to that.. that's all the room you have.
I basically spent 3 days trying different things out, spending over 200 dollars in parts.. for something that is almost impossible to do
