i just bought a 99 I4 5 speed 4D accord. i'm thinking about getting an intake real soon, and i'm wondering which type would best fit my car, a cold air or a short ram?

I'd love to help you out, but your way out of my league there!

Perhaps some of the more mechanic-minded members will have something to add?

Good luck!

mickey - they would both fit but the important question is what are you trying to gain? If you're into racing or ralley and need high RPM power, then a short ram will offer more air flow; i.e. more power. If your looking for an increase in overall horsepower and torque for a daily driver, I would go with the cold air induction system.

Yeah, Wards...

That is what I was gonna suggest. :yes:

yeah, i'm not trying to turn my accord into a race car, i just want nice parts and to have the torque and horsepower...

anyway, i was thinking of these other mods:

JDM headlights
reded-out taillights
HIDs

nothing really special or something that'll stick out, i just want a nice car.
