ok so, i have a 2002 dx civic coupe, 5 spd manual. its got 120,000 mi
i want more power and yeah turbo is my dream but they're billions of gillions of dollars; im planning on getting a greddy sp2 cat back exhaust(and a new high flow cat), and i also want an air intake. i've read alot on the differences and i was wondering, i live on long island and we get plenty of rain, i really dotn wann ruin my engine running through a puddle. i've heard that cold air intakes are alot better with power, but how much would it be to get one of those bypass valves?? are they expensive?? and is the power difference between teh short ram and the cold air that much of a difference or should i just keep it simple and get a short ram intake? (besides, i like the loud/deep sounds: guessing it would go good with a catback?)

 

With a cold air intake, you would have to fully submerge the filter in water in order to get hydrolock. A bypass valve would eliminate any power gains over a short ram intake. I have an AEM short ram intake and when I put it in you could definitely hear and feel the difference over stock. Plus it's easier to install since you don't have to take the bumper off.

sam tray there is no need to have 2 of the same posts. trusted destruction that is not true. A CAI doesn't have to be fully submerged to hydrolock a motor. PREKGSR hydrolocked his motor and his cai wasn't submerged in water
