61789, Intake question
Posted by Pharcyde, Oct-19-03 05:49 AM
My friend and I were talking last nite. Now correct me if I'm wrong (wouldn't be the first time; wouldn't be the last) but a CAI will have less bottom end but more top end power over a short ram correct?

TIA

i think all a short ram has over a cai is snappier response. The cai has an over all higher hp gain than the short ram.

go to Home Depot, get 3 sections of "L" shaped 4" dryer vent elbow, hook them up so on opening is in theair dam of the front bumper facing forward, and the other end is aimed straight at the short ram air filter ;) snappier resonse. similar HP. nice.

Heh, I think I'll stick to my Iceman CAI that I just got but I'll be sure to keep that in mind :thumbsup

Thanks for the responses.
