Any short ram will make less power than an OEM unit, you just get noise. The only way to maintain, and possibly get marginal gains, is with a true cold air intake that places the filter in the fender-well. The 90-93 Accord CAI can be easily modified to do just such.

False, any SRI will improve on HP. the stock airbox is so restrictive. Adding a SRI with a good filter will improve on HP and engine noise. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

The stock air box is more than enough for the measly 1.8L of displacement, and it's not like it's a maze of piping from there to the throttle body either.
