Cold Air Intake
Can anyone recommend a new cold air intake for a 2001 Civic EX Automatic coupe? I am looking to increase horspower, and I would like this to be my first mod on my car. I will spend no more than $200 for a CAI. Thanks for your help!

Rep Power: 0 Finally, someone that speaks my language......that's exactly right, for an automatic, it is better to get a Short Ram.
You only get 1 more horse from a CAI, but the Short Ram will give you more power in the higher RPM ranges.
And since you have an EX with a VTEC, a short ram is definitely the way to go...these VTECs power up around 4000 RPM and that's when the power from the Short Ram will come in a lot more handy. I have an auto EX coupe with an AEM Short Ram, and Love It !!
Wouldn't trade it for the world !! Check my car out, I have the AEM SRI but with a larger, longer K&N filter...so it pulls air in, in more amounts.
