REDBULLx69 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 yes the tube is green and the filter is red. LOL. i was bored so me and my friend rigged it up and then we decided to paint the tube green haha its an 05 civic LX it still has the stock filter box, but we just took out the intake box and cut some old off the shelf intake i had laying around in half and shoved that in there with a million extension peices. it works though, no problems and sounds real good.

SpeedDemon Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 can u say inhalation of hot air? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 can u say inhalation of hot air? lol why does it matter if it is? My short ram is a "hot air intake" and it gets better gas mileage and better sound than any stupid cold air. cold air intakes look stupid anyways. Notice all the big named, expensive intakes that are worth a crap are short rams, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDBULLx69 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 yea it works great but i def dont notice any power at all...probly cause its goin from a cylinder tube to a freaken box haha im just too cheap right now to buy a short ram, so i used what spare parts i had to rig up a free one i did have a cone filter just stuck on there before, but it was directly behind the engine which would have been nothing but 1000 degree air...so i didnt like that idea much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo2dusk Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 haha there wont be any noticable gains really with changing up between the intakes. accept for gas milage nd such. doesnt make that much of a difference on an NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDBULLx69 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 i dont notice a difference in anything...but it makes the engine louder and sounds real good and i like when you hit the gas and hear the cone filter suck in air. kinda sounds like a turbo but opposite...and not as loud. but cool tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tko Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thats all intakes are really good for sound and some mpg the Nismo for a 350z cai is good for 5.5 hp and 4.7 tq thats all. Most wont be developed as much as the Nismo either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDBULLx69 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 i also hear you need one if your gona add boost so the engine and breath better. i had an aem short ram and apexi n1 catback on my older civic and i noticed a little bit of power difference when i took the intake out after running with both the intake and cat for a while. and it was automatic so i guess with intake power it depends on what else you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtecxas Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ha nice color match it to your car for more horsepower! lol I just took my cold air and turned it into short ram I like to autocross so throttle response is key. I vote for short ram in 09. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Better acceleration, snappier throttle response! Fairly clean looking! Although my f@#$ing camera never gets the true green of VC! someone did this on d-series and said their map reading where all fubar, his cone didn't have a velocity stack though.
