Hey first time posting on the site. I have a 3.2 CL P/custom grill/20% tints all around/ 2 ten inch JL audio

I want a nice increase the CL's sound but nothing so dramatic that the sound is annoying to me and other people. I dont want to deal with the hassle of the CAI and water since I live in PA. Is the AEM shortram a good alternative considering I want some more sound out of my car?

to hydrolock your car you would have to drive into a puddle and rev the engne.....

and by puddle i mean 2 feet deep

dont they make the v2 for the clps?

Zubzy887

true i kno wat you mean..last week with the storms we had a bunch of flooded areas. they do make a V2 and i can get one for about 270 but no bypass valve

I have a shortram on my CL, and the sound it makes when vtec kicks in can be compared to an orchestra, but it can be loud at times. I would go with a cai with bypass if could do it all over though.

Is the ram air for the CL from AEM the same as an accord 98-02 V6? Can I use this setup on a CL type-S? I live in Miami. 2 feet puddles are part of my daily commute (no, matter where I am going).

i live in the lehigh valley too Zubzy and have an aem cai with bypass valve. got it at auto addictions for a like $225 i think. sounds awesome, and you only hear it when you stomp on the gas, its quiet at other times. never had a problem with water. if you are driving in those 2 ft deep puddles, you will be floating away and your intake will be the least of your worries.

I live right by where musicfest is, right up the hill, i saw all the flooding down there from the storm last week.

Thanks guys..i guess i can deal with the sound from the Short ram..but i might opt for the CAI for some more power. Rock thats cool u live near me..i live right by the new target on walbert.

No, im almost 100% sure it wont fit a type-s.
I have the short ram and its only loud when you go WOT, which is basically only when you want it. I doubt there is a noticeable power difference between the short ram and the CAI. If your not looking to spend the extra money just go with the short ram i guarentee youl be happy. If your really worried about water lock, which is very very unlikely, i dont think the v2 can have a bypass so you can rule that out. Id say just get the short ram, ez install, cheap, good power, sounds good at WOT.

thanks sublime..shortram it is

I have a old Weapon-R short ram that will fit the CL-P. If you want it, I can give it to you for $50 shipped.

you dont need a bypass on the v2 cause it sits in the engine bay.....

Zubzy887

Reallly? But how is the v2 a cold air intake if it doesnt get cold air? If it sits int he engine bay isnt it essentially a short ram then?
