Sounds good

why didnt you go Cold Air

but i guess if you were just looking for the sound it works out.

TailoredTL-S

I wouldnt get a cold air, but I live in Colorado too, so snow and massive puddles are an obvious problem

jjashaa

^ i'd get a cold air..

puddles can't get no higher than 5 inches so its definitely not a problem.

TailoredTL-S

oh really, i guess i was misinformed...

^ plus you have all these plastic guard pieces underneath your car.. a little splashy splash won't hurt it

no way in hell you gonna hydrolock unless you get the filter fully submerged underwater which is like.. 2-3 feet of water..

^amen..

i've only did it once.. but not in this car.

it flooded and i drove through 20 feet of 2' water with my accord... i was stucccckkk lol

i took my intake off and cranked it after 5 tries or so..

TLslvt

Why would want to put in 2 more feet of piping to get air that is only a few degrees cooler? Im a fan of the short ram...at least for now..but anyways, thanks for the props guys!

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

cuz it makes that much more of a difference..

TLslvt

I will be very honest with you man...the difference between CAI and SRI i think is only a personal preference. Unless you get a V2, a CAI will give you more noticeable low end torque, and an SRI gives you more high end torque. Only a V2 will give you both.The temperature differences are not big enough to effect performance that much, therefore id rather have the high end torque and throttle response you get with short ram.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ and how many times in a day are you gonna use that "high end torque"

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

oh and btw.. i think you got it backwards...

SRI gives more lower end power and also a quicker throttle response due to its shorter length on the pipe.

but a CAI give more high end due to it drawing colder air which is denser and has the air molecules held closer together.

Schooled by jjashaa! lol

azn_xxxd

hehehe , just take out the intake resonator and everything below that. It leaves you and big empty space under the SHORT RAM you having. Well almost like CAI but this is homemade Cai lol

TLslvt

Dont really understand why you "schooled" me about the throttle response with an SRI, cause its kinda a little bit like the same exact thing i said. As for the high end vs low end stuff, i think im gonna listen to my mechanic before i listen to you, rraajaashhhaa the scientist, or watever your name is. Ill start calling you mr.molecules or somethin

All im sayin is theres good and bad things about both, and yes generally a CAI is better, but there is different advantages for both. Agree?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

never said i "schooled" you.. that was illmat1k.. no need for you to be immature and reply to me in an immature way.

and i'm no scientist.. search up and read around and you'll see what i say is true in mostly all cars. if youre mechanic stated that SRI is better for so and so. go ahead and listen to your educated mechanic who seems to kno all over me who just researches on both parts for their advantages.....

TLslvt

Oh and one more thing...not everyone has money and can just go out and buy a CAI...im poor and doin the best i can...i wouldnt have ANYTHING if it wasnt for a really cool member on this forum

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ could always go buy Ebay intake and use a better filter...

TLslvt

Immature? MY bad bro...my mechanic never said it was better thats for damn sure, he was simply silencing the people like you who think that a CAI is SOOOO much better than short ram...thats it man. By the way,this is the most retarded argument ever...completely un-necessary

heyitsvu

iTrader: (1)

okay kids, calm down. no need to fight over something like this. The argument is academic and preferential. I don't like severed heads in a friendly forum. and tlslvt, it wasnt jashaa that started it, so dont blame him.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

lol what
