vtecaccord01, i didnt know that injen made intakes for 5th gen accords. i have an aem cai and its been raining for almost 2 weeks here and i drove through mad puddles and no problems. i even have the black rubber fenderlining off so the intake is exposed. my filter gets dirty really fast though, so i have to clean it like every 2 weeks.

OK, I installed the Injen short ram and fabricated a setup similar to yours.
The car definitely has a much more throaty sound to it, especially in VTEC. It feels much more ballanced... does ont hesitate sa much as before on clutch take-up from standing starts. On the highway it definitely has more power.
There seems to be less engine braking poer though in gear.
I am quite happy.

Just add the fenderling back to your car and you will be fine. Driving without it is very risky. Oh yea they make them. Gotta love INJEN.

hmm the homedepo ram idea seems function but suprised you didnt do the ram from your grill instead of extending the CAI piping. the CAI for the BMW's come down to the front bumper. all in all looks great (shoulda painted it black)

Running the pipe to the bumper opening is the most convenient configuration. The space vacated by removing the resonator leads towards the bumper opening. It's actually very convenient and easy to do it this way.
One worry now is the possibility of water being driven up the pipe to the filter. I think I am going to add a mesh screen at both ends to minimise this... I also need to make more drain holes to allow excess water to weep out.
I should have thought of doing this before putting the bumper back on - I hate having to take it off again.
