Sweet!! AEM in and it is awesome
Well the rain held out yesterday and I finally got my AEM cold air in (w/o bypass) and I am in love. The sound is down right mean above 5000 RPM. I nstall was pretty much a since. Didn't even really have to follow the instructions much. It is pretty straight forward. I installed the Blue pipe on my silver car and it really stands out under that hood. I recommend getting one for all of you guys out there going back and forth on whether or not to get one. It is easy and worth it. The car is already noticably faster at highr RPM.
$185 and 2 hours well spent

the cold air box isn't going to give you much more HP if any and it is going to be about 125 more than the AEM setup
I love the damn thing the car feels much faster than stock now

I dont have an intake or anything but I think you should invest in a Bypass valve. If it rains...you could be in some trouble. Correct me if I'm wrong.

"Since 1996, AEM has been the undisputed gold standard at the top. The latest innovation to this aging design is the bypass valve for people who get hydrolock anxiety when it rains. There has been one recall already related to a fastening problem with the bypass valve and the valve got sucked into the TB causing engine damage. A new clip has cured this problem. It is noteworthy that the bypass valve lowers power by 2-3whp across the entire rpm range but you can sleep at night. "
This is off topic, but if you want to know anything about intake, highly super higly recommand,

bypass? fohgedaboudid
the bypass is a gimick. ive been using AEM CAI's since '97, before they became popular and cost $145 (ahh...those were the days)
At any rate...i live in NYC and drove it rain, snow, and sleet . One car was a 94civic lowered with H&R race springs (2 3/4" drop) and i never ever had a problem. My friend has an AEM CAI his on his accord since he bought it in 99 and never had a problem. He even has the intake exposed because of his body kit.
unless ur going to drive into a lake or a deep puddle, dont worry...and even then, that bypass wont help :P
