5453, aem short ram to cai ?
Posted by oRACLes_97rs, Jul-20-01 02:46 AM
question would fitting a hose of equal diameter work ? i have an idea for a cai set up and was wondering if this is kosher or not ... i know i would have to buy a by-pass valve and all but would it work ... i was thinking of mounting it right behind the driver side fog light housing if possible ..........well ? what do u think ? will it work ?

turning a CAI into a short ram negates the cold air idea itself, your not gonna get the benefits of both by putting a hose on it.

My Injen puts the filter right behind the opening next to the fog light, very good for air.

You will get better flow if you get the extension from AEM. But it should be better than the short ram to rig somethign up this way.
