Why go short ram?? you can get full length for same price and your car will have a better chance of sucking in fresh cold air instead of hot engine bay air!.. Also all cold air intakes are the same so you can just buy one on ebay for 35$.

When your car is on the highway or cruising down the road. A SRI will not be sucking in vast amounts of 100°C air. The ambient temps under the hood may be a bit warmer but not much.
For example, I ran my Accord with a SRI and monitored the intake air temp sensor. The temp only varied by 10-15°C over the outside air temps. Yes it is a bit warmer but unless you need .01 second to win the 3120. It's not a big enough temp differential. Not to mention the higher temps are probably more due to heat soak from the cylinder head into the intake manifold than outside air.
X2 on buying an Ebay 3" intake tube and then using a reputable cone filter on it.
