    Short ram intake vs Cold air intake

    I am wanting to buy an intake for my car but was wondering which is better CAI or SRI? I have heard CAI are better because they pull in colder air but then again I have heard they lack the low range power that SRI can produce. How do you guys see it?

      To me I think they're the same since both of them the air is going to get warmer.

      CAI it'll travel up the pipe but then pass through the piping that's in the engine bay and soak up the warmth that has been heating up the pipe.

      unless you can pull air through fast enough like turbo...but IMO

          You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?



          A CAI will introduce cooler air. However, there is a bit of a lag due to the extra piping. The SRI gives a better throttle feel. Additionally, when the car is moving, the air in the engine bay isn't considerably warmer than the air in the fenderwell.

          I have a CAI myself, because I bought into all the hype. Given the chance to do it again, I'd go with the SRI in a heartbeat.

                I just installed a K&N SRI today and in my opinion
                the difference in engine breath-ability is very noticeable compared to OEM or even CAI.
                You can definitely feel the boost with the SRI and it sounds beautiful, and with a clean well maintained engine the HP boost can anywhere from 8-12
                over your OEM air box

                Go SRI, better bang for your buck

                  I've never seen a K&N SRI, only filters. Where could someone get one?

                    had a longtube AEM v2 CAI back in the day. Had to cut a hole in the inner fender to route the tube, but it was worth it. Difference (butt-dyno) was immediately noticeable, as was the sound. Once I had my full exhaust done, though (4-2-1 headers, high flow cat, and catback) the sound difference was inaudible.

                    I remember that car sounded great for a four banger

                      8-12hp from a short ram intake alone?

                        Is that before or after putting the K&N sticker on your car?

                            (their prices are not correct...Apexi website lists $95 U.S. for generic filter kit)

                            excellent information on those sites...course that is just air filter and not cai vs sri info...still...stuff you need to know...possibly more important that tubing is the filter you choose to run.

                              i think both is not the answer.

                              k&n filter in stock housing.

                              thats what timmyotool uses. and i trust him.
