Do a search and you will find TONS of info on intakes. A LOT Of people use AEM though...

What do you want in the long run? The answer to this question will bring different answers.

I would go with AEM SRI. Build a cold air box and make a short ram system. Searching will give you a lot of info

in the long run i want a nice sound when i hit the gas in neutral and proformance is a must, more power

Build a cold air box and make a short ram system.

...How?

isnt the V2 out as of this monday? Swear I read that somewhere.
If it is, someone needs to post a review ASAP!

get an aem......carb legal too

get cold air if you want more high end torque...get the short ram if you want more lower end..........if there are a lot of water hazards in your area, you might want to watch out with the cold air...

2000goes150 · 10-07-2003, 07:16 PM

how much water does a cold air need to f' it up?

SEARCH

I hated it when people told me to do that when I first joined but it does help. I will start you off with the link.

Powerwise, intakes don't give you a lot at all. What I meant by what you want inthe future, NA or FI.

i was just looking at the aem V2, i kinda wanted something that was made for a 97-01type SH rather than one that is just for a 97-01 prelude, Naturally Aspirated means no turbo or supercharger right? i am gonna keep it NA

NoRice4U · 10-07-2003, 07:40 PM

AEM cold air

Enhanced · 10-07-2003, 07:50 PM

yes NA means no super or turbo. For the most power out of a intake I would get AEM SEI and make a cold air box and make a ram air system so you have cold air with a short ram intake. Best of both worlds.

imstallin CAI do i need to cut any part of them body ?? or i just remove the stock box n it fits rite in??

Enhanced · 10-07-2003, 08:11 PM

You will probably 99.9% sure you will have to cut the hole bigger.

J_V_K · 10-07-2003, 09:45 PM

Yah you will need to cut the hole a little bigger

99BlackVTEC · 10-07-2003, 10:06 PM

AEM CAI w/ bypass valve or Injen Race Division CAI

the base and SH share the same motor chasis, the SH just has ATTS. Their intakes are interchangable, so if it fits a base then it will fit an SH

My recommendation:

inexpensive alternative to the AEM brand CAI

I really don't know where people get the idea that CAI's give better high end then a short ram. it's just not true. a short ram that's isolated from heat will give better top end.
