Wazzzzup........

Currently I have a AEM short ram air intake on my ride.. is the cold air THAT much better?? any horsepower differences?? Do they sound different? cuz I love the way my short intake makes when I am on it. Any info would be appreciated!!

If you still have the stock airbox, then get a CAI. If you have a short ram, then don't bother with the CAI. I've had both and I can't tell the difference according to the butt-dyno. When I compared the piping between the 2, I've notice that the short ram have much thicker piping diameter than the CAI. Sometimes it is equally important the size of the piping, thus inhaling more air. Put it this way, if you yourself is jogging, would you want to inhale colder air through a long narrow pipe (CAI) or a much warmer air through a short wider pipe (short ram). Hope I didn't confuse you!!!!

CAI intake is better dude, cold air is denser than warm air according to the laws of physics. More oxygen more combustion mean more power. If you have a short ram do the cold air extension mod in the mods section. I made one and it worx wonders.

Yeah I have thought about doing something like this, its just actually taking the time to do it!

You can probably see from the picture in my sig. why I chose the short ram!

yeah well its like a 2 hp difference and the cold air intake will get really dirty really fast...just go with whatever u can get a better deal on...anything's better than the stock box.

is there a "how-to" on making the short a CAI? Where?

Look on the main 2gnt page in the mods section. Last time I was there the pics werent working but it gives you a general idea

Here's how I tell it. You know the difference you feel with the short ram over stock? Add that much difference to the short ram and you have what a CAI feels like. Atleast to me that's about what it was like. CAI is about 2 times better I think. Or it feels better. Sounds meaner too.
