short ram and cold air
What is the difference between Cold Air intake and short ram intake, and which one should I get for say a 96 integra LS or GSR or a 2000 Honda Accord 4dr EX

Re: short ram and cold air
a cold air intake goes down by the bumper and fender where it picks up cooler air. the filter is further away from the engine. air is cooler= cold air
the problems with a cold air intake are the air can't travel as fast because of the distance the air must travel which ='s friction. also when it rains it is very easy to suck water into the engine. thats bad
short ram draws air from inside the engine compartment which is hotter but you get the air in a lot faster because of a shorter distance. i like short ram best.
both give good power increases
the best ideia is to find a short ram intake with a box that blocks the heat included.- can be exspensive
good luck

Re: short ram and cold air
Short Ram=better throttle response and more mid range power
Cold Air= throttle response will remain close to the same but a little bit better and improve higher rpm power.
For you id go with short ram since you dont have vtec and even though its mainly toward mid range power its exactly what you need in an ls
