Default Short Ram Intake

Been thinking about putting one in my car, since I'm basically done for all the suspension mods. What kind of difference will I notice with a SRI? I'm getting a generic one because it works just the same as a brand name one.

You'll be lucky to get 1whp. And the sad part is, that I'm not joking.

Haha that's the reason why I haven't been doing engine mods on my car. It's pretty useless. But I was looking at a SRI because I heard it can give me better fuel efficiency, which is what I need since I drive quite a bit on the freeway

i dont see how that could be being as the SRI would be much more heat soaked than the CAI...

Buy some cams, make sure the compression is gonna balance out with how aggresive your cams are. Cams are that far away you can get them for 400 but i would get a reliable brand.
