Ram air intake aka, short ram intakes are good for low end horsepower and torque
Cold air intakes have more horsepower gaines then short ram and more top end power.
If your looking for more torque then horsepower, meaning more acceleration but dont care about topping out your car, then short ram intake is what you want.
If you already have enough torque and just want more horsepower and go fast as possible, then cold air intake is what you want.

How much does an intake boost you in rsx?
It depends on the intake that you get. There are short ram air and cold air intakes. Cold air intakes are preferred amongst rsx enthusiasts because of the cold air that is being sucked into the motor. On average, about 3-14 HP can be obtained from an intake. The quality and type of intake is what makes the difference between a lot and a little HP.
What is the difference between a fresh air intake and regular intake on a vehicle?

Does cold air intake really make a difference?
A "cold air intake" does not actually induce cold air into the engine, but rather air that is not "hot." "Hot" air in the intake would be the result of an air induction system that allows air from right around the engine block or radiator to enter. The "cold" air would be any air that is not pulled from directly around the engine block or radiator, e.g. induction from the fender of the vehicle. You never really want to pull hot air in, but the difference between a stock air intake and a cold air intake is marginal, but depends also on the vehicle. A cold air intake will generally increase performance only marginally. But every bit helps if performance is what you are going for - if your car or truck is built up and made for performance, then the benefits will be greater on a high performance Corvette ZR1 motor as opposed to a 1984 4-cylinder Toyota Camry. Hope this helps!

A cold air intake is an aftermarket part used to help open air flow to the engine. The cold air intake sucks up cold air from underneath the car and is attached to your intake manifold. So it is a pipe going from somewhere close to the bottom of the engine compartment leading to your intake manifold.
Is cold air intake better than regular air intake?
If you are looking for max horsepower the answer is yes. Cold air is denser and containes more oxygen which means you can burn more fuel resulting in more power. If it is just a daily driver then it doesn't make any real difference except your new cold air intake might impress the chicks.
