Well I decided to make a review on my intake. Figure this will help answer some questions that are often asked in the i/h/e section. I’ve had my AEM SRI for quite some time now, about 7-9months, cant remember exactly…. so here’s my review.

Product: AEM Short Ram Intake(SRI)
Distributor: www.Cardomain.com
Vehicle: 1992-1995 Honda Civic (all models I believe)
Cost: $79.99 free shipping (I think cardomain has upped the price now. You can get these cheaper on ebay or maybe somewhere else)
Installation: Installing an intake is incredibly easy, especially if it’s a short ram such as this one. Anyone can do this on their own with just simple tools. Tools used: sockets, wrench, and flat head screw driver.
Installation Time: I figure about 20-30mins. Taking the resonator box out will take up most of the time, after that there’s nothing to it.
Review: I love it. Performs well, sounds great, looks nice. After installation I noticed a bit better throttle response and a tad bit more power. One thing that I really noticed and really liked was the sound. It sounds great when getting on the throttle and in-between shifts it gives off a lil hiss kinda sound, my friends always comment about it and say its like a mini blow of valve lol. When idling it hisses and is pretty sweet. Maintenance is simple; don’t need to clean/oil it as often as a cold air intake since it’s kept in the bay and away from dirt, water, salt and all that junk. the package came with all the necessities plus more: tubing, couplings, ties, filter, filter cleaner, stickers, and license plate frame. I really don’t have anything bad to say about the intake itself... other than the color which was cardomains fault[:@] i ordered chrome tubing to match my strut bar but nooo they didnt have it in stock even tho they said they did and without cunsulting me they sent me red tubing[sm=headbang.gif] o well w/e it does its job






Video was taken with a digi cam about a foot away from the intake..

 

i have one on my hatch and i agree its a great product and here's a pic ok don't laugh at the green valve cover its now black wrinkle finish .oh civicexracer i got the chrome one sorry .and like you said installation was a breeze. on a scale of 1-10 i'd give it a 9 on satisfaction very pleased with it

Peg i hope thet you meant that on a scale of 1-10 10 being easiest, then it would be a 9, my SRI was a sinch to install. and it was a Bomz, so it was cheep, and didn't have the actual piece to bolt it to the body., i have to customize one

 

Peg, dun be surprised when next time u open ur hood there will be a red intake sitting there...cuz im gena yank the polished one from ya[sm=icon_sneaky.gif]

 

i'm sorry tim i meant satisfaction

 

hahahaha you better not my guard cat will get ya [8D] dude if you lived closer i would swap you

 

So Ram air is better than Cold air? What are some pro/cons of them, someone wanna tell me?

 

there are advantages for each short ram and cold air but cold air is better if u really want to sqeeze out every hp u can....use search function or look thru the Header, Intake, Exhaust forum.
