NO WAY

The difference between the short ram and CAI on my ICEMAN is NIGHT AND DAY I can beat friends of mine with it that I loose to EVERY time It's off. To the point that I would not race or even mess around with it off. (I used to be very concerned about getting it wet. I was dumb).

Anyway just want to clear that up. Mine a SOHC and not only does it sound better with the CAI but the difference is HUGE bigger than the difference between stock and the short ram which was a big dif too.

It is vtec so it may be different on the non-vtecs
