just czu i'm bored.....j's racing (or replica) is one of the best short ram intakes....and aem (V2) is one of the best cold air intakes.

now think about the names....SHORT ram...means the tube is much shorter, it will sit right behind the passenger headlight.....COLD AIR, means just that aswell. since the air in the engine bay tends to be warm, teh tube has an extension that actauly curves and goes down kindof under the engine bay, and the filter is actualy "outside", sits right between the friont bumper and tire (passenger side). that's the most detail you'll get out of this generous bastard

Short Ram a big upgrade from an OEm intake but it still draws in all the hot air from the enigine bay.

Cold air is better because it draws in the cold air from in front of the wheel well.
There is a danger though of using cold air intakes as you can suck water up your intake tube if you drive through a puddle or something.(then your motor will experience hydro lock- fatal to the motor)

<U>I think</U> though that short Ram produces better torque numbers than cold air

You shouldn't have to search for someone else because they are to lazy.

But at the same time why even post let them flownder till they figure out how to use the search button. But then you are going to have a bunch of people bumping there which intake is better threads, because no one will help them.
