I use an AEM short ram. I should have went with a Cold Air Intake but I paid like 60 bucks for the whole thing. My wife hated it at first because you will get some engine noise back through the intake that you wouldn't get with the stock box muffling most of the noise.
I had a weapon-r intake and didn't like the fact that I had a very very thin piece of foam as a filter.
I will be going K&N next as I like the fact that it is oiled. I bought one for my 88 Turbo Coupe Thunderbird 10 years ago and it is still in there.
Get the Tenzo CAI setup. Its a direct ripoff of the AEM for a lot less cash, but its two piece so you can use it as a cai or a short ram. Just buy the one for the Si crx and hatch. Then go buy a K&N filter to replace the trash one that comes with it. I have the part number at home.
Heres the short ram setup, you even took this picture, lol.
I don't have one on my wagon, but here's one of my B20 EH. It has an OEM ITR intake arm with a custom aluminium velocity stack mated to a K&N RC-3150 filter. Can't find a pic of the velocity stack, though. The ITR arm is fat and the filter is the size of a coffee can.
I stole northwest_war_wagons since he sold his wagon. Stock box sealed up drawing air through the top down in to the intake tube. From what northwest_war_wagon dyno runs proved, this added roughly 7hp over the stock configuration which I would think is close to the run of the mill aftermarket short ram intake.

x2 :shock:
I removed a no-name short ram in favor of the k/n panel and I noticed no decrease in performance what so ever.
