Short Ram Intake

The latest carbon fiber goodie to make its way into my engine bay soon ~ is a short ram intake chamber (ARC design) + generic open pod filter. Theoritically, the short ram design gives better throttle response & helps the engine make more power, especially in the low to mid rpm region, as the larger intake reservoir improves driveabilty; & at the same time also adds a more pleasing induction sound to the engine when under acceleration ~ pretty much the the famous whale-penis intake which is so synoynimous with VTEC engines. Coupled with the cold air intake funnel kit, this setup should give my engine a much improved breathing capability across the whole rpm band. =)
