I have a 1997 Honda Civic Ex with a SOHC VTEC, with a Greddy Evo2 cat-back exhaust system, and magnaflow high-flow cat, and I am looking to buy a cold air intake or maybe a short-ram intake or something of that nature. I'm not sure which one would be best for my car. Does anyone have any suggestions on what/where I should buy something like this?

cold air intake, it relocates the filter to an area which gets higher and cooler air flow short ram is just like taking the top of your airbox off and getting a k&n filter imo

 

Do a search and you'll find tons of information on this site regarding that question. There is a little bit of a debate between Cold Air Intake and Short Ram Intake but anything over stock is good. Anyway, some of the popular names are AEM, and INJEN. Some have intakes from E-bay and are satisfied with it. It all depends on your budget.

 

get a cold air intake. AEM and Injen are prolly to most popular here. ebay will be cheapest. cold airs tend to sound better than short rams and u gain a couple extra hp over a short ram with it.

good luck with everything!

 

Yeh, get a CAI if you can. You get cooler air, and cooler air is more dense, which will give you more HP in the end.

 

i got a aem sri and i love it, install was about 10 mins

 

What about when it rains though?

 

don't drive through 18" puddles and you will be fine.

 

As long as you don't drive a submarine, you'll be fine.

 

Thank you for all of your suggestions, most likely I will take a look and possibly go with the cold air intake because that seems to be the concensus and sorta what I had in mind. From the suggestions it looks like Ebay would be a good place to start looking at CIA, but what kind of prices should I expect to pay for a good quality intake, and what should I stay away from?
