So I have the intake off, doing some other stuff, and I am thinking, why not put the long tube on, In sunny Cali I will not have to deal witht he monsoon/hurricane stuff from the Gulf o'Mexico, but I am also wondering how much benefit will I get? If the air filter is in the wheel well, it will probably get dirty faster, but I don' mind cleaning it more often. Will it be a oticable improvement?

 

In your sig, it says you have an icebox... dude... if you have the full icebox and comptech SRI, then you already have one of the better CAI's out there...

 

Short ram - Low end, Cold air or in your words 'long tube' - High end

 

Actually it says Iceman. Thats a brand. I thought they made full length CAI's only, I must be an idiot.

 

I thought it was the other way around????

 

Don't be so harsh on yourself. It is made by Knight engineering(No, not like a talking black firebird) two piece affair, but I only have the short extension. How does it sound with a long ram?

 

thats not true. short ram is good for throttle response probably u mixed that up with being better for low end. a cai has an advantage in the mid range around 3500-4000 rpm known as the aem or injen hump. cai's actually choke up air in the higher rpms

 

i have an aem short ram and i loooove the way it sounds when it's sucking up that air...!
the only reason i didn't get the cold air is because i don't want it sucking up water when i'm stopped in a puddle and i didn't feel it was worth the extra money....but i'm no expert when it comes to intakes and power, so don't go by what I say if you want speed...
