im confused the japs at the performance shop said thats a CAI..but i thought it goes under the body o0...plz tell me if im right...or is this a shortram?

it looks like a short ram but idk...

and btw i dont know why it says VTEC on my cover because i dont think it is -_-

 

read up on VTEC-E, that's what d17a2's are.

 

Short Ram and try not to call people "japs" just saying " the people at the performance shop " works just as well.

 

thats a short ram...

 

thats a short ram version of the AEM V2. You don't select "short ram" or "cold air" versions of the V2, but some of them happen to go down in the bumper a little, while otehrs (such as that one pictured) end right in the engine bay.

 

It was up to AEM to produce the most horsepower via tuning different pipe diameters and lengths to tune the frequencies inside the intake. It all depends on engine bay size and the motor as to what they want to do with it.

 

so then is getting a heat shield recommended since its located inside the engine bay and since i live in las vegas?

 

a heat shield for the intake filter? No need! Youre only going to see at a MAX 3 hp gain from the intake...for this little gain i dont think a heat shiel is going to matter.

 

oh ok and also is a Greddy Evo 2 exhaust good?...i heard it has a low pitch at high and low RPM's...any how much gain will i have? as in HP/TQ
