i agree with 95civic_hb....you wont feel any increase on power...any intake will give you a little noise but i think any cold air will be louder than short ram or the other way around! aem is a good brand!! but for me i think they all do the same!!!

if you want a better noise... just take the snorkel off of your intake.. just leave the box right by the manifold... it's a gangsta way of having an intake. and makes me laugh because i have a craptacular 1.6 and would NEVER put ANY money into that motor.
it is for pure comical value.

I infact actually have this intake on my car.
When it was put on it was dynoed right after and it did make a 5hp gain. Mind you its on a B18C1.. C5 Head.. it does gives the motor a nice deep tone.
The only downside... its a big eyesore in your motor :P

IMO, a good air filter is more important than the pipe itself unless your you're going for a built up motor that requires more air to combust with more fuel... then yes, a larger and free flow pipe is better, otherwise, a good air filter will do the job
an expensive pipe is easte of money because it doesn't really give you more power but noise and rice level

And intake isn't noticable on any car power wise, it's just benificial in terms of air quality. A good way to go about it is to remove your airbox and noice reduction box and then just clamp a cone filter on the plastic air hose and get it secured.
