Default Password intake v.s. Short ram

Obviously the short ram is not as good as the power chamber, but if I was not happy with a short ram (ricey look, and not enough performance) would it be much different w/ a powerchamber? Based off of your experience, is the powerchamber worth the 180? I have done research, now I want to hear from people that have used it. Thanks in advance.

its good for bling, but has heatsoak all over it, doesn't add amount of power, go with the
AEM CAI, but not the Short ram. .

your car already has a airbox built in, its called the resonator, if you're not worried about looks its pretty easy to build your own.

really. you wont notice a difference in any of them. the dyno might show a few hp difference, but thats about it. ask yourself: is 5-10 hp worth the 200 bucks? or should i just go with the 4-7 hp gain that an ebay intake will do for 40 bucks?

its up to you...i would rather save for something more useful.

spend the 200 towards intake manifold and hondata heatshield gasket, money spent much better, plus you can still use those if you got turbo, intake.....you gotta pitch it

Short Ram with a BPi Flowstack has been proven to make more power than a Password intake, and almost as much as a CAI.

If you really want the CAI, get the ITR CAI. It's a 3in pipe vs the 2.75? of the rest. But I lean toward the top choice.

That password/J's Racing/power chamber intake is absolute garbage. Much rather have a ebay 3" intake
