Ok so I was thinking of getting an sri off of ebay then my friend calls me and tells me to get a cai instead. I know they are both good but what are the main differences between the too? I have been debating whether to get the sri or cai. I heard that there is more performance with the sri than the cai ,but there has to be something good about the cai performance wise. I just want to know which is truthfully better for a cb7.

The cai mounts the flter outside of the engine bay to get a cooler intake charge. It does run the risk of pulling in water when it has rained. They sell things to help prevent that though. The differences between the 2 intakes I would consider negligable as far as usable power is concerned. Also with the cai you'll have to cut a hole in the inner fender to install it. -
Exactly.Originally posted by mtnbikaah View PostOnce you are moving the temperature under the hood is the same as the outside air. So a "short ram" will be pulling in just as cool air once you are moving.
-2 cents.
The short ram (sri) is also a HELL of a lot easier to remove when working in the engine bay. I hate my CAI, but I paid $200 for it, so I don't want to get rid of it!

One is a much easier install, the other can hydrolock your engine, both do pretty much the same thing.
Plus you'll pay less for the SRI.Comment

AMEN! Fortunately for me, the insurance company paid for my CAI when I got into an accident with my first Accord.Originally posted by deevergote View PostThe short ram (sri) is also a HELL of a lot easier to remove when working in the engine bay.
