![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi I would like to know what are the differences in HP and Torque gains between the CAI, Short Ram and just a replacement filter like K&N or Comptech filter.
Thanks.
Thanks.

From what I've read on this forum, the AEM CAI will add 2 or 3 hp. K&N advertises that their filters add 2 or 3 hp also. I'm guessing that the same goes for the Comptech filter as well.
I chose to go with the simple drop-in filter rather than the CAI. I didn't want the added expense or the shrill scream that I've heard the CAI has. Just make sure you clean and oil the filter every 7500 miles or so.

I truly don't know what the bottom box does, but I didn't notice any change in sound when it was removed compare to when it was there. The reason I took it off, was to induce cold air.
The sound when replacing just the OEM filter with a high flow filter, comes from letting more air in the upper pipe. So removing the bottom box(resornator) won't affect the sound.
