will new air induction screw computor chip?
if i take out my stock air filter system and install one of those aem or whatever pipes with the exposed cone filter, will that affect my chip?..or will the car just adjust to it automatically?...right now i have a K&N drop-in filter...and is it worth the switch?..how much hp gain is there on a 5spd manual ra?

it is worth switching, u need to unhook your battery during the install of the intake, then when u are finished hook the battery back up and let the car idle for 15 mins and let it go through the programing cycle (do not rev your engine!) then drive the car around for another 15 mins under 3500 RPM's and you should be good to go.

If you don't want to go with a cold air intake you can always go with a short air... Gains in the lower rpm's too. Personally i wanted to get a cold air, but with the puddles in boston it wasn't realistic for me because i do a lot of driving in the rain... Your definitely better off getting one or the other.

thanks for the responses..so let me ask this..what is the diff between cold air pipe and short ram?...is it just a shorter pipe etc?..or do u leave some of the original stock air system in?...i definately don't want to loose torque in any rpm level..esp the lower ones..so short would be the way to go it sounds.

i just installed the rrm sri on my 06 ra auto and it seems to be a bit quicker. not too noticable though. nice sound and looks great. you'll need the exhaust and ecu to really see a difference
