Default Cold Air Intake for 95 civic

Hey I'm thinking about getting a cold air intake for my 95 civic EX. I was just wondering what brands out there are good. I dont want to spend a fortune...probably something less than $200. Does anyone know of any good deals online or of anyone selling a used one? thanks

IMO they are not worth it...
I had one on my car and it sucked up water and hydrolocked...
It may add a couple of HP, but if you happen to drive in areas where it rains hard, or there are large puddles, you are gonna need major engine work...
My cylinder 1 connecting rod bent like a banana due to hydrolock...
Only option is to buy a PATENTED AEM bypass valve, not the cheap ones on ebay...
I say save your money for a turbo

Not really worth it, $200 is a lot of bones for little gains on a motor that really, all considering, doesn't have a lot of potential.

Put that $200 in a bank towards a swap.
