a good short ram system will perform just as good as a cold intake system
maybe not on a dyno, whilst air isnt being pushed through the engine bay
if you do a search on team-integra there is a lot of examples of this comparing the two see below

really the intake will make a very minor improvement so you have to add up what you wanna spend the money on, maybe just dropping a KN in the standard setup etc..
