I'm pricing Short Ram Intakes, but I can't find a definitive answer as to if they are worth the $180+. I am primarily interested mild strip use, but the majority of my driving is in town. The sound produced is impressive, but not what I'm focused on.

Also, I have a custom cat-back exhaust and I'm looking into headers and high-flow cats, any suggestions?

I drive a 2007 Accord w/ the K24a8 L4

 

Short ram intake won't gain much real hp except it looks cool in the engine bay, gives the cool intake sound when you hit the throttle and it save a few pounds over the factory intake and air box set up. DC Sports makes good header.
