Re: Prelude fresh air intakes do they work?
I put a short ram intake on my 2000 Civic SiR and didn't really notice much
other then major increase in noise... but i must say that I really like the new sound, exspecially when VTEC kicks in. It scares the hell out of people.

I just noticed your reply to my post. I said a CAI would make the car less fuel efficient because it allows more air into the engine. Since the mixture ratio should be constant, it makes sense that there should be more gas going into the engine as well. if only the air intake would increase but the gas would stay the same the car would run lean. If this reasoning is wrong, please correct me. Cosmin

You may get more volumetric efficiency,too. This may be offset by the tendency to USE the extra power.(leadfoot effect) -- Jim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net
