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.

just installed my short ram, and i can back shid's comments about it.
there is a duct coming from the wheel well right under the fusebox, that air travels through. so, it's not getting *JUST* hot air. Besides, it's not the actual filter that gets hot, it's the PIPING that gets to obscene temps. So, my thinking would be, either way, if you install a short ram OR cai, when the air hits that pipe near the TB, it will be almost the same temp.  i altered this pic to show you what i'm talking about. see the duct below the fusebox? that has air coming in to it from the fender area, just like the stock airbox setup. |
