first off can you do a h22a swap? I think you need to answer that yourself, can you? If you know what you are doing with the basics under the hood and have a friend or two to help you who also know a thing or two, I don't see why not. But do research on how-to's and what you need first b4 getting into it.

Now the colder the air the more dense the air (good thing-->MORE POWER!). So a short ram will pull air from engine bay (hotter than outside air) and a cold air intake will pull air usually from outside the engine bay (outside air cooler then air under hood). So how can anybody possible say a short ram intake is better than a cold air intake?

i dont know. ask super autobacs. i just ask a bunch of people the same question and people give me all types of answers. but i origionaly thought that cold air was better because it was more dense.

do you think any cold air intakes can be made to fit on my car?

cai are different shapes for different cars. Get one that will fit for your set-up. If you are refering to different brand then it don't really matter. I would personally go for the cheap ebay no name brands just because of the amount of money you save and still get all the performance. Some people will say that brand matters blah bhlah blah..if you care about brands to something like aem or injen otherwise hit up ebay and search cai for your car.
