okay.. now im confused
whats the difference between.. cold air intake and cold air shortram intake?
it looks totally different too.. haha
check it out http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...969896962&rd=1
u guyz tell me .. whats the performance gain between a fat tube like this one and a standard 3" diameter shortram?

the cold air intake will go lower normaly in the fender or in that area to pull colder air. Colder air=more power......short ram will pull from the top of the motor which is normaly more hott. THe cold air will pull outside air in while the short will pull inside the engine bay air. Cold air=better-=more power.

i saw a write up on a mustang...( back when i had one) and a guy actually did a temp difference. at idle it was only a 20 deg difference, then after he hit 5 mph it was only a .5 degree difference. the cold air only benifits mostly from the stop. however the sri benifits in top end, since its more of a ram air. and the cai almost looses air cause of the speed going acrost the fender. like sucking the water out of a water bed using the water attatchment.

god that would suck to have one of those.. you'd have to cover everytime it started raining.... also it would cost 100 to replace the filter you know how fast that would get dirty damn fast
