Default Does an in intake make a difference?
Hey, I have a 1994 Integra ls and I was wondering if adding an AEM cold air intake is really worth it, do you actually feel any difference?

Butt Dyno will say "yes!".

Actual dyno will prove ~2-5hp if you're lucky

AEM will disagree h:

You might feel a lil increase, but not much. If you have other things done you might feel it more. You wont see a big difference of any power til you maybe switch cams, go nitrous or turbo.

It feels a little different, but the noise/excitement of buying something makes it seem more powerful than it really is. But good first mod

its a good first mod because you dont really need to do anything else to get the most performance out of it.. alot of people do intake first

Its a decent, ez and cost effective mod. I like my SRI. Sounds good and if I did gain hp, I haven't noticed it.

Yes. For best results, add a highflow cat and a header.

Is there a difference between those cheap cold air intakes you buy on e-bay and the ones from aem?
