According to a book that I have related to Honda vehicles, it says the
following on page 71:
After installing a new air velocity intake system, the author states:
"The result: a 7 to 8 percent in real horsepower was achieved by using a
product that costs less than $200 and takes only minutes to install."

So if that book guy is right... my HP should go from 160hp to 171.2 or
172.8 with a 7 to 8 percent increase. I'm thinking it would prob be more
like 165hp but either way it's good.

Weathers nice up here.... last week it didn't get above -20 celcius ...
makes for a CCCOOOLLLDDD start.
A major snowfall here is more then 12inches in one storm.

Well,I used to live in Buffalo and Indianapolis.Had enough snow to last me
forever.
(I drove a Civic CVCC,too,with 12" wheels!)

It snowed the day I left Indy,driving a brand new Prelude.
I don't miss snow at all.

I used to send out postcards to my friends,that had a pic on one half of a
guy shovelling snow out of his driveway,and on the other half,a guy in a
lounge chair at a Florida beach,captioned "you/ME." 8-)

One negative side effect of the cold air intakes is that the intake opening
is usually rather LOW in the car,and could act as a water intake in deep
puddles,very,very BAD for your motor,as water does NOT compress.
There are "bypass" valves,but they decrease the power gains slightly.

WRT "minutes to install",I believe you have to remove the old intake system
first,including the resonator and piping that wasn't so accessible in my
Integra GSR.(for a Cold Air intake,not a short ram)
But it still is not hard to do,and very worthwhile.
