After my friend itr died due to sucking up water with his cold air intake ive been thinking about switching over to a short ram intake. can anyone think of the best short ram to get for a 01 itr? thanx ppl

 

honostly they all do about the same thing... Any short ram will work..

 

i have a injen sri and love it, best looking SRI (besides J's) out there IMHO

 

Just get an icebox, use your head when driving, and you should be fine. That is unless you have some cash to spring for the Moooooogen. Good luck

 

I have never used one but the J's racing intake looks sweet! since they
all perform similarly thats the nicest I have ever seen.

 

As far as short ram, the J's is a great intake.

 

A short ram really isnt going to do anything more than add noise and a litter better throttle response. Stick with stock or a cold air system like comptech/mugen, where the filter is in the normal location. To hydrolock my comptech, i would literally have to drive into a pond lol.

 

try BMC cda, ive got it in my teg, itilizes a short ram but the filter is surrounded by a carbon fibre box and has a cold air feed to the air filter which goes in place of the old resonator box

I still can't understand how some people get so much water into the CAI that it messes up the Motor...

I have had my AEM CAI for 3 years and traveled through all kinds of weather without any problems.

I do try to avoid big puddles and driving in the Atlantic ocean but I guess some aim for them.

 

SGT did an intake test over at HT and the J's short ram came out on top.
