Should i go with Short Ram or CAI? I'm in the process of making a CAI but i want to know the advantage and the disavantages (Also for the Short Ram). Like for example wich will be better acceleration or which will be better during the rain, snow. Speeking of rain, i just tried out my CAI in the rain but it lagged more then my regular filter, is that because of the water going in or just that the CAI i made sucks? I need you guy's knowledge.

a short ram is going to give you less horsepower then the stock air box would(technically the stock air intake IS A CAI). It will be drawing in warm air, as the stock air box wont. Think about it. the ventilation in the celica is very poor, and its around parts that produce hot air. It is hot as **** where that air filter is going to be on your SRI. Your going to be drawing in hot air to your engine. another words its a downgrade. so it be pointless IMO to get SRI, unless your only motive would be the sound it produces.
I didnt notice any less acceleration lag with my CAI, if anything better pickup and a tad bet more power overall. And it sounds awesome! talk to 95celgt if your intrested. |
