Great FAQ!!! Very informative. Out of uniformity, you should add some suggested intakes with prices like in the exhaust section. Also, for the guys who are totally broke, some names of cheap intakes that actually fit.

by etc, do you just mean I/H/E? No, internals will be totally fine with simple mods such as that. Supercharge, Turbocharge and Nitrous is when internals are being risked.

too exepnsive IMO, it wont give MUCH better gains than AEM or Injen, or even the ebay w/ nice filter. Its just an intake, no matter what its not gonna do THAT much

I Don't agree with some of the pros and cons of sri vs. cai. I have a 96 dx, I've had the AEMV2 intake installed both ways, as a short ram and a cold air. The cold air blows the short ram away, better throddle response, better sound, more gain by far, by far. I can notice on the days I take the CAI part off because of the rain, that my car is noticibly less powerfull. I swear it's not in my head. And it actually DOES matter what intake you use. If you buy an ebay one for 30 bucks, you'll get a cel and **** up your car. Why would you buy something super cheap for your car, if you buy something cheap, expect to get cheap results. Ebay intakes are death.

intakes do very little on a civic. especially the d17s. the gains between a cai and sri are so negligible that you might as well get the cheaper one.

sri is cheaper because there's less tubing. the v2 is more expensive because it's "new" technology. it's a SRI for the d17.

How much noisier do SRI or CAI make the engine bay?

I had a VW Jetta and got a sri that had a K&N cone filter. It made the engine bay so loud that from the driver's seat, I felt like the cams were rattling in my head. It gave me a headache on short drives and I had to wear ear plugs on long drives... so I ended up removing the whole thing, trashing it, and putting the stock air box back on and using a K&N filter in it.

I have a K&N filter in my Honda's stock air box now.

CAI is techinically quieter becasue the filter is down in the bumper
