filters are different.. aem uses a really good filter.. and the bypass valve is garbage.. defeats the purpose of a cold air intake.. actually i don't really agree with cold air intakes either so nm

you put an intake on the car so theres less constricted airflow.. like the stock filter.. with all its bypasses and loops and resonators... cold air is pretty long.. takes time for air to get to the throttle body.. unlike a shortram.. which i run personally when i'm not turbo.. take your intake off all together.. it'll be peak performance then try a short ram... then a cold air.. then a cold air with a bypass filter.. just gets worse and worse.. bypass opens up at Wide open Throttle.. aka WOT.. and sucks air in like a short ram anyways.. which defeats the purpose of a CAI.. and i'd rather just have straight air to the TB instead of 5 feet of Piping then air... just my personal opinion.. if you think colder air does that more for you to outweigh the advantages of a shortram.. more power to you.. kinda like buying street tires when you want to race..

i'll break it down for you.. AEM w/ bypass valve sucks literally.. it takes air into the closest spot.. which is the bypass valve.. at wide open throttle.. if you want a true cold air you can't use a bypass valve.. it defeats the purpose.. i personally would just get a shortram.. but thats me.. i have enough engine horse power to worry about colder air hitting my TB.. i'd rather just start buying pipes i need for an intercooler too heh.. then again i've used my fair share of aem cold airs for intercoolers on turbo cars.. cutting them up and rewelding.. heh.. so they do have their purpose

I agree with Fode.........................BUT on hot days the short ram sucks ass. My car ran like shit cuz of all the hot air it sucked up under the hood. I plan on changing back to the short ram this weekend since fall is almost here. So it all comes down to where you live and the weather conditions.
