Default Is V2 a short RAM intake or Cold Air Intake??

Kinda confused....

Got this quote from Clubrsx.com
"
The Short Ram Intake is a Shortened Version of a cold air intake. You will see some gains but you can also see losses from intaking heat from the engine, mostly on hot days. The short ram is a good alternative though if your are worried about hydrolock. Some popular cold are intakes are AEM and Injen SRI, and AEM V2"...

So does that mean V2 is a CAI?

no, its a short ram. the reason they say its a shortened version of the cold air is because on the B series motors, it actually is that. on our K series though its just a short ram, because it extends back into the engine bay instead of down and away from it

It's not a foot long like every "short" ram, but it also can't be called a CAI because its filter is still inside the engine bay.
