I have had a Weapon-R SRI in my car for a little under a year now. It's actually for the H22 engine (2000 prelude) but it fits in our car. The thing about the intake is that towards the throttle body, the piping gets VERY large then goes down to 3" where it connects to the throttle body. Also it has a sharp angle to the piping towards the top. I'll try and find a pic to better illustrate this.

So the question is this: Do the larger diameter pipe and sharp angle cut down on the efficiency of my intake? Should i sell it and get an AEM shorty or is the gain difference minimal? The sound is real ballsy and loud, and i wanna keep that

Thanks in advance!
