Hi so my accord seemed to be losing power a lot when the engine heated up then I heard some stuff about short ram intakes drawing hot air from inside the engine bay and that they don't actually give more hp. So I hooked my car back up with the stock intake system and my car seems to run smoother. I'm curious about what other people think about the short ram intakes good or bad and how they effect the way the car drives vs the stock system. Thanks for reading and heres a pic of my car.

Air intake comparison
Collapse

-
Some say that all intakes are the same, others say that they feel a noticeable difference between the stock air box and aftermarket pod filters. Still others debate over whether or not cold air intakes are better than short ram intakes. From what I've read through on here, a short ram or cold air intake may give you 1 - 3 Hp. This is hardly noticeable in our 20 year old cars making around 100hp stock. What you do notice is the increased throttle response, and the noise.
I have to ask, what brand of short ram intake did you purchase?*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

Ya they probly made it like that for a reason. It seems like to me the stock system is a good design and those videos back that up. I prefer my car to be a bit quieter also and the throttle response is quite decent with stockso I'm ganna go with it. Thanks for the info!Last edited by 92exrkid; 02-24-2014, 11:11 PM.

The bowl i had laying around had two ears off the sides which made it perfect to rivet to the bumper after friction fitting it in.

I will agree the stock intake system and drop in filter is the best for a completely stock engine. That is what it is tuned for.
Didn't watch the videos. However I do know that as soon as you change the throttle body diameter, intake manifold volume, camshaft, valve diameter, cylinder head ports, exhaust manifold/header or the exhaust piping. You can throw out the stock air box as being tuned any longer.Last edited by GhostAccord; 02-25-2014, 12:06 AM.
