    AEM and Injen Make some really good intakes both short and long. With the short CAI its more prone to take in more of the heat generated from the motor which makes it at times laggy.
    The long CAI are good, taking in cooler air, but depending on where its is located could get really dirty espesh on rainy days.

    I suggest if your going to get either of them dont have them exposed and have them covered with a some sort of sheild and have an intake tube like a Mugen type intake setup.
    I only say this because it makes it legal, wont take in heat generated from the motor and i generally it works better.

    buddy if u have a Vtir you dont realy want to be spending to much money on it. intake is an importand thing with all Vtecs, but ull get more power out of getting urself a clutch, or some spoon progressin springs.. car will handle much better...

    but for now u want to get ursel a Vtec Roar.. so heres what u do
    What you need...
    a plastic flexible 2.5 - 3.5 inch hose.. id suggest a ducting hose of some sort..
    a few zip lock ties and a hose clamp.

    front bumper shown is a jdm dc2r bumper so its differant to a reg dc2, but at least u get the idea

    find sumwhere to mount ur plastic hose to the front bumper... make sure its fasted very securly as u dont want it cumming undone while driving... very very bad!!

    then simply run your hose from the front bumper to the bottom of your oem air box..


    and u have yourself a CAI using the same concepts as the mugen box..
    that is also NON DEFECTABLE as ur filter is in an enclosed box.. and ud realy get more power out of it than 1 of them shitty SRI intakes u see every1 has that suck in terribly hot heat from there engine bays...

    you could also install a high performance air filter that'd work much better

    except saved yourself 1000 dollars.. haha and its sumthin you can do yourself and have fun doing

    here are a few quick piks..

    hope this helps buddy

    SRI = Engine heat, doesnt have as much potential. Only less restrictive.


    CAI = Colder air, so long as you have your front splash tray, you wont pick up any shit. More potential. More hassles to install or replace.

    SRI is generally cheaper than CAI.

    SRI, have different version that are for ABS and non ABS models.

    GSR is the american version of VTI-R.

    Branded under acura.


    No difference really. LHD, b18c1 instead of c2. Still a dc2 chassis.

    GSR = VTIR

    DC:51:VE is suggesting to use your Oem intake arm and filter box. Hes suggesting to get rid of your resonator box under your right mud guard and running a flex pipe from the bottom of your filter box to the front of your bumper.
    Deano.

    definitely cai > sri.
    i have tried many sri's, and make many cai's, and nothing compares to my current set up.
    i recently bought a fujita intake, and i love it. i paid the money for it, and now i got it, i wouldnt buy anything else.
