oh yeah I know just because they claim it doesn't mean thats what your going to get, but from what I've heard I think 11hp was the average I might be wrong though
did they dyno it using normal driving conditions without hood up and fans
Yeah I heard the Fujita's get heat soaked thats why I'm not even considering them
do the short ram intakes get any cold air at all to them?
do the Injen CAI's get that much cold air since there located right behind the fake ducts?
Damn decisions, decisions

Do a search for stillballin's intake review. I love my Injens and wish I wouldve had them earlier.

Short Ram is a short ram forget the labeling.. If you're looking for power go with the Cold Air or just stick to stock..

Only reason I'd go for short is for the extra growl at like 6k rpm and the ease of install over cold air

Has anyone installed one on their car yet? How is the seat of the pants feeling? I like SR but I am not sure if there is any power gain in comparison to CAI.

Yeah, I have one. I've had it installed for about a week now and I love it! It does sound great once you hit 3,500 rpms and higher. I just installed the Tanabe exhaust too and with the both of them together I can definitely feel some more HP. They also sound great together. I tried to post a vid yesterday but had problems loading it. I'm trying again so I should have it up soon.

It sounds to me like you want extra horses with your intake. You might want to stay away from SRI's like what Sam said. You might just be disappointed.

I am debating removing my Injen CAI and putting on a short ram. I like the look of them. Only part that sucks, is that I have only had my CAI on for about a week.

It might help to put together a list of what you want in an intake and then priorities it with the addition of a weight number. Then put a number 0-9 on what your research indicates they rate. Total and you should at least narrow your choices. Mine looked like this.

1. Install +5
2. Maintenance +5
3. Looks +5
4. Performance gains +2
5. Engine protection +5
6. Carb certification
7. Sound +5
8. Cost
9. Availability

^^ nice idea. that would most certainly narrow it down.



whosurbuddie, why do you want to switch from an already installed CAI? just looks? If you sell it PM me
