Question Intake question...

I got a 02 TL-P and I am planning on getting a injen CAI for it. Anyone know which one I am suppose to buy...
This one INJEN SHORT RAM INTAKE 02-03 ACURA TL IS1660
Or this one? INJEN COLD AIR INTAKE 02-03 ACURA TL RD1660.

There is a 100 dollar difference between them and I don't know which one is for me.

And can anyone tell me how hard is it to install, that is for someone with little or no experiance with chaning stuff in the car.

Get the CAI (Cold Air Intake) since the short ram just sucks in hot underhood air, not good for making horsepower.

Yeah we are in the middle of a nasty storm around here. It's been raining buckets all day. I did turn around once when there was a lake in the middle of the road! It was up to the grill (it was almost 2 feet deep) on a Pathfinder a few cars in front of me so I took the safe route and did a U-turn and went a few blocks around.

Other than that I was driving in it all day and I didn't have any problems with my Injen CAI...
