2009 Civic EX Cold Air Intake Help :)

[072civic]

I have a AEM CAI and it runs into my bumber (where there is a possibily for water to get in) but so far i have had no problems. I live in Vancouver BC and all it does is rains. If i where to buy a CAI again i would buy a shorty instead for the water reason and then you can just pop your hood and take the filter off and clean it, as supose to taking my tire off and the plastic wheel well guards. Also on the rubbing isue it is tight but i havent had any isues, you just go to fiddle with it when installing it to get it in the right position. I have not tried the injen so i dont know, from what i hear it is better, but you want the red so... iduno Just my opinion

hey bro. i got a 2007 civic ex and i put an aem cold air intake into it. i would highly discourage you from getting a short ram. basic thermodynamics already explain why a cai is better. plus, a short ram sucks in warm air which isnt good for your car. i would suggest aem. my buddy at the shop says theyre one of the better made for hondas.

Hey. I just got an '09 EX Automatic and I'm asking the same thing. I still don't know what I should get. I'm leaning more towards the Weapon R because the CAI can suck in water and I live in FL. It rains a shitload here and there's always puddles...

Any comments are always accepted.

Check and see if K&N have a '09 cuz my '07 loves the typhoon.
