cool air intake questions

and i have a few questions....
1.) roughly how much hp does it add
2.) is there any maintenance required on it once its installed
3.) does it void any of the warrenty i have on the car
4.) can anyone make any recommendations on which one to get and roughly how much they cost

2)no.. just to clean the filter periodically
3) it could possibly void the warranty, check with your dealer before purchase
4) if you are purchasing it for power gains don't bother. A ractive and AEM CAI would do pretty much the samething for your motor. So go with whichever one is cheaper, personally i'd by a second hand pipe and buy a new k/n filter.

I bought a ractive short ram for my 2000 sir for $70. I'm looking to add a section of pipe to it to make it a cold air intake.
But i want mine to come out right in the front opening of the front bumper. So you'd see the cone filter in the opening off to one side. No just sitting in behind the bumper, behind the fog light.

i'd figure more than 2-5 for a cai. i've seen dyno comparisons that showed up to 18hp on an rsx.

On my B16 I can say i noticed a bit more in the top-end, but not much.
I dyno'd 140whp at forrest & forrest racing in kitchener last weekend. Thats stock with short ram intake and axle-back exhaust.
If you buy an intake, buy it for the sound and fuel mileage (which I have noticed a difference in).

I bought the intake mainly for the sound!
There's nothing like blasting past someone with their window down and hitting that magical 5600rpm when you finally wake up the VTEC monster under your hood....heehee

If your getting an intake id suggest AEM all their products are dyno proven, their a great design. i got 5hp on the dyno gain from a aem cold air on my setup. down side their about 200-250.

I have a ractive short ram intake on my 00 b16. When i bought it, it did not specify if it was for a d16 or b16....since some of the pre-made fittings on the intake didn't line up with anything and are not used on my b16, i can only assume they are for the d16.
So yes and no. Some may fit, some may not.
Hope that helps.
