short ram,

1-Easy installation

3-Their cheaper
4-low end torque

Get a CAI. I have experiences with both. Short ram is coo on the take off but with Hondas you want high end power. We already have torque over a lot of imports. Plus the CAI sucks straight cold air which equals more HPs. That and it sounds so much deeper once you hit to second gear! Go AEM... V2 if they make em for our CBs

I got my cai for $30 shipped man go for a cai. SR is much more a placebo affect in terms of actual power. The throttle response is much more instant but only for an instant. Just like how a high end bmw may kill your car but if you were in it still feel smooth and therefore deceivingly not as powerfull as it really is, so is a CAI. I've run both for a decent time. The CAI isn't just high end it's pretty much better in the whole range. While for a split second you don't feel it, overal you will pull harder. As for brands, yes, a $200-$400 brand may give you 3-5hp because of better design and perhaps heat resistance, yet I'll still take my $30 cai with a $5 can of high temp heat resistant paint and pocket the $150 plus difference to put towards other mods that will overal yeild even more power.

I have a short ram intake and its nice. Either one is good, definitly better then stock intake.

pipings for the name brand intakes are different from just the "regular ebay" pipings. the name brand have been coated with a special paint that insulates cooler air

And yet the rob-your-walet AEM was tested against a homeade CAI, and an icebox cai (or something like that made to run cool) and the homeade one that was coated with high temp paint was the coolest after running in traffic for a few hours... get a $30-$50 cai from ebay and a $5 can of high temp paint and coat it and you are good.
