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.

I have a cold air intake for my GT, its much better then the short ram I have on now, but it dose take in water, i run the short ram in the raining months, and the cold air in the sunny months. it only takes like 10 min to swap.
but yeah the cold air is much better, even from a stop, it feels like it has more poser, and takes off quicker. I noticed that, the stock intake has no inlet, its just a big closed box. is the air sucked though the plasic due to the pressure? --------------------  |
