the "whale *****" intake isnt a cold air intake. an intake is an intake. theyre all basically the same. just dont pay too much.

Agreed. I run a short ram intake. Had a cold air intake. Any difference...nope

 

Basically all the same. If you are on a budget get a ebay one. Whale ***** works good, and looks good.

 

i started off with a ebay intake. works fine but i got scared of getting pulled over so i got a aem short ram for about 80 on ebay. if u like to risk it get the 20 ebay one works just the same

 

i have a fake *** intake laying around in the garage, "it doesn't have a sticker so don't put it" the sticker makes it street legal? I'm a bit of noob with this

 

well if it has a CAI sticker on it then ur fine. but im not saying if it doesnt dont put it on. you have to think what are the chances of u getting pulled over, and having the cop tell you to pop open your hood. its a risk u have to take.

 

sorry total forgot to explain it. If the intake is legal they willl have a CAI sticker on there somewhere. That CAI sticker tells the cops that the intake is carb legal etc. if you buy a generic one those usually dont have CAI stickers on them, which means to the cops that they are illegal.

 

I have the AEM V2 CAI...by far the best intake that I have owned to date. I've ran both SRI and CAI...and prefer CAI.

If you do go with a CAI don't bother with the bypass valve...they are a waste of money and only work if the whole air filter is submerged in water.

 

alright, thanks for the info

 

damn man expletive its just an intake it wont do ****

 

Currently running an AEM CAI, before you say anything i paid 25 bucks for it, but i have run a Short Ram before. I recommend you go with a CAI, as you will be getting cooler air, which is what your engine needs, instead of warm air from your engine compartment with the Short Ram.

Check the Classifieds, i always see generic CAI pipes for sale, then just buy a filter.

 

getting you hood poped will happen sooner of later, i never thought it would to me but it did all becuase i had no muffler on. I played really stupid though i was like my muffler broke off when i hit a speed bump. and I don't even know what the hell that is i passed smog with it i thought it was normal i just drive this thing to work and school and he let me go but not every cop is like that. But I got a generic short ram intake its new I was gunna use it on my ek but it got stolen if you want you can have it for $40.

really how much does it go for?

 

tell me how it would different from any other CAI? from what it looks like IMO the ribs on the tube would cause more friction for the air moving into the motor and cause it to slow down compared to a tube style CAI...

 

oh yeah and its SOOOO expensive

still pricy for a dryer tube

 

looks like crap

 

Ram Air Headlight ftw!

They both look pretty shitty to me. At least one is street legal though!

 

Personally, I would run a stock airbox. maybe its just me. Hack the bottom and run a K&N filter with it, sounds good and still gives you the power of a CAI or Short ram - .00000001 HP
