As far as which one is better I can only tell you what each one is supposed to do.
Short Ram- Supposed to provide more torque and upfront power.

Cold Air- Supposed to give you more power in the higher RPMs range on the back end. That is just what I have read. I think there is a thread some where here.

I got board one day and got this set up


I started off first with the basic intake. That had came straight out from the IM. with the filter it ran me maybe $55 from autozone. $20 for the filter and $35 for the intake. Later i added a 60 degree elbow and a 90 degree elbow after I relocated the battery. The set up has been pretty good so far.

Use the "search" button on top. There's been plenty of threads on this.

the short ram is working good for me i you can hear mine sucking in alot of air cause i have a stock exhaust so its all you can hear

try this out , cut your stock air tube, and buy a good cone filter and a clamp.then remove the old filter housing.IMO just as good as a cheap no name intake pipe.keep the blow by valve( the pipe running to the intake tube close to the TB ) good luck and hope you give this a shot.

A pipe is a pipe. Get a cheap pipe off of ebay, and put a high quality filter on it, such as AEM or K&N. Don't use a cheap filter, as they can let dust and dirt into the engine, causing damage.

dont short rams kill ur mpg's due to the fact that its sucking up nothing but hot air from the engine bay??

If anything, they help a little tiny bit (<1mpg) by lowering the resistance of the air being sucked in compared to the stock intake.

Is this a Short Ram or a cold air intake?

My guess is he is trying to make a cai but I don't think much air gets there

Short Ram.

From what I have seen, cold air intakes sit down in the area between the inner fender and bumper. Short Rams are anywhere in the engine bay.

short ram.. a true cold air is tucked below in the fender well...if u get a cold air just make sure u get a bypass valve so u dont suck up any water..
