why do you want a short ram? Short ram does practically nothing for performance gains, except for the noise. It makes sense if you only want noise, but why not get horsepower and noise combined with a CAI?
if you're dead set on a short ram, then get a K&N cone filter and make it yourself

please do me a favor and do not get the short ram. it does nothing for your car and just reuses the hot air under the hood. pay a little more for a cai and you will be glad you did. trust me my friend, this is one thing you won't regret doing.

I don't think so on the tube sizing
Many on this forum are using the old 3.2 CAI's on their TL-S's 3.5, since almost no one builds a CAI for the 3.5. I've been on Fujita, AEM, K&N's website, and no one has one. They don't bother with the shortram, since as everyone has says, they produce no hp gain.As to hydrolocking, there must be some risk, or else K&N wouldn't provide a "raincoat" with theirs. Not saying it's common, but a risk.

I just installed my new P2R thermoblock from excelerate.com today. Pretty impressed with "seat of the pants" diff. I would recommend it for cheap and easily installed hp gains if you have doubts about the CAI.

As to the 3.5 part of it, the TB isnt ANY bigger since you are using the Type-s IM and TB

Thanks for the information. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable on CAI's, but the newer TL-S has me confused. I must have missed some serious information 
.
What is the IM? The TL-S appears to have a pretty efficient "CAI" built in from the factory. Until a CAI mfr. builds a better "mousetrap" specifically for the TL-S, it appears as though the only thing an aftermarket CAI adds is noise(although one man's noise is another mans music). All information is fully appreciated!
