No. Your engine will suck in dirt,insects and rocks. You can blow a cylinder and/or your throttle body will mess up. If you must do it. Do it for a little while only.

How do you remove the filter from a cold air intake on a 1991 Honda Civic DX?

The filter on a cold air intake should have a small screw and a clam right were it meets the pipe. (tightening purpose) . The air filter and the pipe are two separate units. If the filter does not have a screw or clam, simply pull and twist off.

A little is not a problem. If it is a lot, then it could lead to vapor lock, etc. Don't worry about splash from puddles, etc. Be worried about trying to drive while your car is submerged up to the filter...to be safe, take off your cold air intake during rainy seasons.

What is the difference between a short ram air intake verses a cold air intake?

A short ram intake replaces your stock air box with an aluminum pipe (usually) with a filter on it inside of your engine bay. A cold air is longer and puts the end of the filter as low and as frontward as possible, to get the benefits of being away from the engine bay as well as being in a position to take in all the air being forced against your car as you drive at high speeds. The downside to the added power from the cold air design though, is that the intake is more exposed to puddles, flooding, etc. , which could lead to your engine ingesting water, possibly damaging it.

I have disconnected the pipe running from my front fender to the air filter box on a Corsa B. where is the best place to fit a tube to maximise COLD air intake?

For any cold air intake system the filter should be as close to the ground as possible. This allows the air to be scooped up and remain cool before entering the engine. The front passenger wheel weld is the most common place to install a cold air intake.
