well if youre going with a ram air options auto has some RS Akimoto ram intakes for less than $100 (there in clearance). its a good intake (what I have) and cheaper than either aem or injen.

aem and ijen are identical to my knowladge, aem was rated best cold air intake, why short ram, and not cold air?

whats the point in paying $90 for a short ram intake. go to pep boys and get an intake for like $40.
or...get the AEM CAI and cut it so you can switch from SRI to CAI. or get an ICEMAN - so you can take it apart to switch. SRI sucks.  |

Exactly. At least get a CAI that you can convert if you need to. Hydrolock isn't a huge problem if you drive safely. Get the AEM and a bypass valve if you're worried.

Did he drive through a lake? This flips my burger, I have been useing Cold Air Intakes forever and driven through all kinds of rain and snow and never hydrolocked. The only way to hydrolock a motor with a Cold Air Intake is if you completely submerge the filter in water. So that means you would have to drive the car through a "puddle" of water that is at least a foot high. Now why would you want to drive a car through that much water anyway? Cold Air Intake or not i'm not going to drive my car through a foot of water, it's just stupid. Even if you didn't have a CAI on the car, there are other things that could happen to your car running through that kind of water. |

they are almost exactly the same in design. The person who started Injen is an ex-engineer for AEM and he branched off to start his own company. The Injen is overpriced

If you get the cold air intake..you'll sacrifice a louder sound than the short ram gives. Short ram is a lot louder. Cold air intakes are better for performance though. Short rams do help for performance though.

Injen is actually R.S Akimoto. For a while when you looked at the Injen adds in magazines, if you looked at the bottom of the pages in the fine print it still said RS Akimoto. Could be a combination of the 2 though. |

i have the AEM cai and i was scared about the water and stuff so i cut it to add the the bpv and i had it converted to a SRI for a while. while it was working as the sri it had a lot more sound and the car was reving a lot faster.

I've got an iceman and when i have it in short ram it's quite as stock. when i put on the extension it sounds REDICULOUS. I MEAN REAL LOUD.
also i used to switch the cold air on and off everytime it rained/stopped. Then I stopped doin that I've driven through tons of rain and lots of puddles nothin yet. Like the other guy said you have to be in a DEEP puddle. GO ICEMAN they're GREAT
