I know that there are alot of companies out there who make cold air intake systems. What are some of the better ones, and why are they better than the rest? If it matters, I have a 1999 Honda Prelude.

a cold air really isn't all that cold. a short ram air is shorter and better. What you should do is get the short ram air then get a hood scoop so that the ram air come up right there. Then you will get cold rammed air.

I would say Injen's cold air intake. they are good for Honda's.I know a lot of people are saying they are not a cold air intake but it all depends on how it was made and where the company placed it in the engine and It is considered a cold air intake because it is not taking in the hot air of the engine. It is taking in the air from the outside of the car. That why you get the power gains. Like on my RSX I have injen's cold air intake. It sits in the front bumper where the fog lights are on the base models.A short ram does not give you as much power. It just make your engine sound louder.look it up online there is a sight that will tell you everything you need to know if you post threads and ask questions. They know alot about honda's

Here's the short version.If the intake point is not outside the engine bay, it's a ram air intake. (Which still add hp, just not as much.)If it IS outside the engine bay it's a cold air intake.Colder (more dense) air at a higher rate of flow always = more horsepower for your motor.The claims vary by brand about hp gains and the levels of gain also vary depending on if it's a ram air intake or cold air intake.The two most important things are 1. How good is the intake filter itself and its overall design? And 2. Are there dyno results to back up claims?Good brands are AEM, Injen and Weapon-R... check the #'s for yourself and decide.
