custom intake
well i just finsied a custom intake, first let me tell you why i made it, well first i wanted a combination of different intakes not just one design, i like the short ram style intakes for their top end power, i like the cold air intake for the cold air they brought, and i like the aem v2 for its resonace and down low torque, but no one offered an intake that was all three combined so i made one, its an V2/short ram/cold air box design, the first pics are of the intake in the testing phase, it was just flat black paint, it works really good you can feel the extra power at about 1500rpm, and it starts to growl at about 2000-2500rpm while the previous short ram you could only hear at vtec and on, and it only made power at top end. the next pics you will see are the finished intake that i just got today from the powered coater, and waiting to be installed tomorrow. pics of the install will follow, i will try to get to a dyno but the local one is down and the next cloesest one wants 150 an hour to run the car forget that, the local guy wants 75, i'll wait untill they fix it. if you guys want you can take a look at my car domain site its got pics of the driving light bulb upgrades before/ matrix x-06 bulbs and the real polarg m6 bulbs, its also got a pics of the front brake upgrade and some other pics of the car and also concepts of what some different rims would look like on the car.

good clean looking job man. hopefully you'll get to a dyno soon and get some positive results. love it when people do things they talk/think about instead of talk/think about them, props to you

Do u think it would be possible to cut my AEM intake shorter and move the filter up? would that make any difference?

Just FYI, I did something similar to this several years ago:
New Intake
Yours looks much better though.
However, what I found on the dyno is that it wasn't any better. It made no more power than the stock system with the resonator removed. Plus, the hum coming from it at idle got annoying after some time. But the WOT sound was intoxication.

How does the step down occur in yours?
You really should dyno with the stock system and with this to be sure. Sound can have an interesting affect on perceived power gains. I thought mine was doing better until I actually tested it back to back.
