comptech icebox or mugen intake imho
Both provide ducting for colder air without placing the filter within the fenderwell and therefore no risk of hydrolock as with aem,injen, and the like

There has gotta be a way to tell the difference between "intake" as most people call it also know as CAI, and the true intake manifold. What is the actual name for your CAI? Just CAI?

now i know your supposted to use a heat shield to get the best effect but I have seen a few cardon fiber ones out there that say they get twice the results of the metal tubes do you think its worth the extra hundred bucks

aem hands down. i dunno, i never seen the comptech icebox, but from their pics they look like a regular air box. i think the hydrolock risk on them is higher than a regular cai

the ice box is just a sri that has extra parts that encase the filter element and then place ducting down into the fender area.

the risk of hydrolock is way way way way low...the only way it'd happen is if you took your car for a swim or you had ultra-mega-vacuum suction

I heard Injen intakes were pretty good.
AEM is proven to be decent.
Try'em all!

nope. Thats is the Intake manifold that they make for our cars. Along with shunk2. Thats wat our intakes hook onto. A Regular short ram is only the pipe and the filter is inside the engine bay. When you have a CAI the piping takes the filter to inside the fender well or at the bottom of the car out of the engine bay to catch cooler air

don't spend alot cuz it won't do much of anything in terms of power-gains anway. Just get the best-sounding/looking one.

so ur saying a intake wont do nothin for u?? i think ur a little wrong. They actually work. They help gas milege if thats an issue for people. And they do put out decent gains expecially the V2 by AEM. I have seen some dnyo graphs they put out and they did some good gains on the newer civics.
