i have a stock 2000 ex and was wanting to start off with an intake for my first mod. i didnt want to spend the money on a cai so i had found two short ram intakes on andysautosport.com and was wondering wich to get. i found an injen intake with a heat shield and the aem wich is cheaper i was wanting to get some advice on these intakes and if you have a site that you trust and has good prices that i could buy from too that would be great. thanks for your help.

 

i'll give you my cai for your airbox (just the box & lid), if you want pics lemme know

 

on the other hand a sri is a sri, if you want a sweet one look for the password jdm c/f elbow, all should run prob about 70-100

 

i live in tn so we get alot of rain i wasnt wanting to go with a cai

 

actually i dont know if the injen intake comes with a heat shield. i posted that it does but i think im wrong. what site do you use? do u prefer a heat shield or not? i feel that i want an intake that has one.

 

Well when it comes to websites i'm pretty sure i'm not alone when i say always go to EBAY first, almost every mod i've done (quite a few) has been off of EBAY, the prices are ALWAYS cheapier than any other website. Now if you are pretty set on a SRI then its pretty much up to you whether you want the INJEN or AEM you will get arguments for both, but heat shield for an intake? I dunno about that one.

 

well thanks for the advice i havent even looked at ebay. i think im going to go with the aem so here is another question i have a red civic would you go with the red intake (which i have seen pics of and it looks sorta dark) or the polished now i know its my car and my choice but im just wanting some opinions so thanks for your help.


also here is a picture of the injen intake is that a heat sheild on the filter?

If you are talking about the pipe being red or polished then I say polished. Red would be too much.

Those heat sheilds are a good idea. I am gonna fab one up for mine. They keep the radiant heat away form your intake charge. Heat is bad.

As far as which one to get, just get the cheaper one.

 

does anyone know where i can order one for the aem short ram. thanks for the advice i think i will go with the polished aem.

 

get the injen one. thats what id get if i was going SRI
