i need some advice about getting a short ram intake. i wanna know if its worth it and if its easy to change. i also would like to know how much hp it gains and torque. thanks

 

it really does not do much of anything by itself.
Maybe intake,header,and exhaust...thats just my 2cents

 

Honestly, you shouldn't even worry about the power. It felt like it opened up my 98 quite a bit, but it probably wouldn't show much at all on a dyno.

The real thrill is the sound a new intake makes on the F23... sounds amazing. Just get a cheap ebay pipe with a K&N filter and be done with it.

 

words of truth.. the only thing that will make a little more power (like 3-5hp) will be an AEM V2. besides that.. youre just paying for a label

 

How much is a cheap ebay intake + K+N filter?

My entire AEM short ram cost $105 or so with their dry-flow filter which I still prefer to K+N's wet filter...

Anyway they are all right.. The intake doesn't do much for you until you do further mods but the sound is addictive.. I find myself taking it to redline everytime to hear the second stage of noise.. On my engine you get loud from about 4krpm-4.75k or so.. then it gets quieter until about 5.7k where it really sings up til redline...

Fun!

 

ebay intake is like 30 and a nice filter can be anywhere from 20-50
