RE: FAQ: SRI vs CAI - 2/7/2008 1:47:17 PM    mojo   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/18/2008 Status: offline I think that this is the best answer ive come across so far. This is from a Tenzo-R ad for their SRI What’s the difference between a short ram intake and a cold air intake? Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn’t make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall. _____________________________ 96 accord lx sedan grill Alpine deck (iDA-X001 F***ing amazing) Eclipse 6x9''s (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 32

RE: FAQ: SRI vs CAI - 3/4/2008 6:34:48 PM    atarikid07   Posts: 110 Joined: 3/3/2008 Status: offline So I've decided to go with an SRI.  From what I've read off a couple threads, it's a good investment to buy a $40 SRI off of eBay and then just keep the piping but replace the filter with a K&N filter.  Do you guys recommend this?  Also, is the Typhoon legal for emissions tests and whatnot in Georgia? Thanks in advance guys.  (in reply to Whitefoxx) Post #: 35

Lemme know looking to find a STOCK 08 Honda Accord 4cyl. and v6 for test fittings on intakes and dyno (stickshift bone stock!) in the Los Angeles, Ca area!!! (in reply to atarikid07) Post #: 36

There''s 3 pages of good info here, I''m sure you can make a decision after that. _____________________________ -> USE ME TO SEARCH HAF <- 1999 Accord LX F23A1 5MT (in reply to HPS) Post #: 37

You can see if it''s of good quality or not. Plus extremely inexpensive. _____________________________ If you plan on being original, plan on being copied Owner of "The Battleship" NGK iridiums, Struts, Sways & tie brace, CAI, AND A NEW BATTERY +nice deck && subwoof+speakers+2amps quote: ORIGINAL: finch13 I don''t know what Hobbin is smoki (in reply to mbo1985) Post #: 38

RE: FAQ: SRI vs CAI - 11/23/2008 9:37:41 AM    josieless   Posts: 20 Joined: 2/10/2007 Status: offline So what I''ve gathered is that the short ram creates less power, particularly from a stop because it doesn''t get air that''s as cold. However it also has better throttle response? So on a 98 Accord LX (5spd manual, 4 cyl) where my biggest problem right now is getting off the line, to me is seems like the quicker response is the better option despite the fact that the SRI makes less power. Am I looking at this wrong? _____________________________ 98 Accord LX Sedan 5spd F23A1 2.3L USDM SOHC VTEC (in reply to eggroll0925) Post #: 41
