16093, The BIG Q?
Posted by Aggression, Mar-01-02 02:01 AM
I was wondering if you were to put a short ram air intake opposed to a CAI is the difference in hp that much more noticable? If not im just gonna go with the short ram for now and then upgrade later. But if it does then ill just order the CAI. Money is not the issue here.

In theory the CAI will give you a couple more horsepower. If you havent bought one yet then buy the cold air. IMO it isnt worth upgrading once you have bought the short ram. Either that or get the short ram and make your own cold air, cheaper that way.

I think the difference is worth it. BUt if you can't afford the full cold air. Injen has the short ram and latter you can buy the extension pipe. That's what I did, I'm happy with my njen, good quality and the filter sits right behind the opening next to the fog light and really pulls in air at speed.

Thx guys I was just wondering bc i can get an AEM Short for $68 or wait and order an Iceman CAI for $205. I am bad with having to wait for things but if it is a noticable difference between the short and the cold ill wait for it to be shipped. If i go with the short ill have in hand and on my car in less than 30 min. But if I go with the cold it will be like 5 days. Im getting antsy. Is it worth the wait for whatever diff in hp the cold has over the short? lemme know.
