Short Ram Intake vs. CAI (for '97 2.2)

I am planning on putting either a Short Ram Intake (OBX with K&N filter) or a Cold Air Intake on my '97 2.2.

Which would you prefer? What one would provide better performance?

Would an 94-97 Accord 4 cyl be the same application as mine for CAI and/or Ram Intake?
Anyone have either of these for sale?

The cold air intake will give you better performance, but you will also have to pay more for it. If its in your price range go for the cai. Like I said, my boy has a ractive short ram only used for about a month that he will sell cheap. Check your PM's, you have mail.

Dont even bother with the short ram. These cars need as much as they can get performance-wise, short rams aren't the way to go.

My opinion and I'm sticking to it.

The only problem with the cold air intake you may have would be sucking water into your engine. I dont know how often this happens, but I think your pretty much safe unless you drive through a big ass lake.

I've driven through some pretty strong down-pours for hours on end (NC to MD--6 hours), and had no problem with water (enough water to hydroplane at times). I'd go with the CAI -vs- a short ram. I had a short ram, and within months got a CAI.
