hey........ just wondering which short ram is the best one to buy?

thanks

 

aem.. imo

 

I like Injen imo

 

ractive
hahah

j/k

this is posted alot searach for intake and you'll get opinions from almost everryone

 

if your gonna get a short ram get one with 2.5" diameter piping, 3" is too big.

 

But id look at getting a CAI. You can buy aem knock offs at Pacifica mall for $100. I bought a used ractive last night, 2.5" diameter pipeing and it works great.

 

i got a cold air now......

and i was taking a look under the hood......


and a short ram filter SHOULD be right behind my hood scoop........where as my CAI filter is a few inches away



how about this.......... anyone with a short ram wanna trade for a day or so?

 

even with a short ram, its still prolly sucking in half hot air / cold air from the engine even with the scoop.

Unless you made a sealed off enclosure in the corner for the intake, like out of aluminumor something.

 

I always wonder about that... how much "hot air" do you really think is passing around a short ram intake when the car is driving at 100km/h or 80km/h or even 50?

I bet that on dyno tests, sure they do poorly compared to the CAI's, but that's cause there is no fresh air passing around the car, particularly the underside...

 

actually ur wrong i saw my friend get his itr dynoed and they put like a really big industrial fan in front of his car that was blowing in air it does work cuz they turned it on and then off to show the difference

 

only reason i ask..... is cuz with my cai the filter is down by the headlight........ but with a shortram........ i measured it out....... and the filter would be right behind my scoop......


cuz on the highway...... i dont think theres going to be alot of hot air being sucked in when the filter is right behind a hood scoop

 

...but the short ram is not 100% closed in around the hood scoop so it will still suck in some hot air from engine. IMO stick with the cold air, if you want sound get a short ram, I loved the sound but didn't get any gains.

 

what if you get a heat shield for a short ram ?
does that do much
will the short ram actually make you lose power?
