in theory; cold air intakes are better than short ram intakes..

just curious; why ask the general population if you should keep something or not?
are you not happy with the sound? are you not happy with the performance?


cuz it sounds awesome!

Thank you! that is exactly why im asking, i want to get more opinion from people especially who owns the same car. ive been getting a lot of opinions like SRI gives more throttle response, MPG and stuff like that. ive actually never tried it but sound wise, i think they will sound the same as my current CAI.

yes, it will sound very similar to one another!
if you think about an engine as a giant air pump, air goes in and then air goes out.
so a short ram intake will sound very similar, as it draws air into the engine.
