    Default whats better? cold air or short ram?

    i am looking for an intake for my 94 integra, i am just wondering what would be better with more power gains, i heard that cold air is the way to go but that it can suck up rain and snow in the wintertime, is that true? if so whats the best way around it and will sucking up water or snow actually wreck the engine?

    Yes.

    CAI will have better power gains, and you have to watch for it sucking in water.
    Short rams have better throttle response, and sucking in water isnt' really an issue. Less power gains though.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    depends on the engine, though, some short rams make more power that CAI/


    Offcourse we're not talking much since intakes do next to dick-all for performance. Meh, do a search.
