Sorry to quote a 2 month old post, but this guy is annoying me with false information. ANY kind of intake on a Civic is pointless. They are so free flowing from the factory, you'll be LUCKY to gain 2whp from an aftermarket intake (wether it be a short ram or cold air), header, and exhaust. Cold air and short ram intakes are about equal performance wise. Especially on a Civic. Not everybody lives in a dry climate year round. I have a short ram on my Civic because I live in NY. It snows alot. Im not about to run a CAI, and drive thru some of the puddles around here after a decent rain storm.
Do your research before you start spreading information around, thinking you know it all.
