Short Ram. Cold Air Intake has a higher probability of sucking up lots of water and $ucking your engine over

They're really all the same, the filter is the only thing that really matters... Quote emc "pipe is pipe... mostly".

Get a K&N open cone filter.

Just realize this will still only give you about 3 hp.

With the short ram, aim it towards the ECU, and cut a hole in that bump on your hood as a makeshift hood scoop. :D Then you have a cold air short ram all in one!

And pwee, is that your blue and white baby that I see all over youtube?

put a K&N in your stock air box and then remove the pipe that goes from the box to the fender. gives you the same gains as anything else :thumbsup:
