Default Ebay short ram intake

I drive 1992 accord. I was looking at the cheap short ram intakes on ebay and i was wondering if they are any good. Has anyone on here ever put one on their 92 accord. Do they make anymore power or do they just make a better sound????

they arent bad, I would recommend getting a high quality cone filter to put on it however such as K&N or AEM. But other than that a pipes pretty much a pipe. They technically gain horsepower.........will it be noticeable............no.

X2 o ebay pipe,and K&N AEM filter... You will not notice any outstanding gain in HP,or MPG.. But you will hear your intake sucking in the air alot louder

no it wont damage the engine, and you dont have to change anything because hondas use a mass air flow not a map sensor.

No, What you do is take out your stock intake and put the new intake in...connecting all hoses of course.. No changing or modifying MAF.
