A short ram intake will take air from the engine bay and thus will take in hotter air from the engine bay. A cold air intake will take colder air from the bumper. Colder air is more dense and has more oxygen molecules in it than hotter air. And the cold air intake will not be a problem when it rains. Unless you drive through a 3 foot mini lake you will not have a problem. The filter has to be submerged in water to suck in water.
If you need an intake you can PM me.

Unless you plan on driving thru watrer thats oer a foot deep you wont have a problem. in my 10 years of driving with cai's and lots of rain ive never had a issue. You will always hear about the few horror stories that scare you over the thousands of zero problem owners. Use your head and if your unsure how deep the water is go around. Puddles and rain off the road wont effect itOriginally Posted by mrchan625
