Ok, I'm trying to decide on what type of intake to go with on my 99 SH. A while ago, there was a thread talking about this, and about what brands to go with, and such. I've pretty much narrowed it down to two options for me though (Unless you guys have something better)
1) A name-brand CAI
2) A short-ram, and new hood (with scoop, obviously) Possibly CF?
I heard someone say that CAI is proven to always yeild greater HP gains than short ram. Is this still true with a vented hood? Because I don't see how...
But anyway, which should I go with?
Thanks

 

I can hold my breath for over a mintue..... :dunno:

 

unless u want the carb sticker, there's no point in getting a name brand CAI. it's a 3" dia pipe with a filter on the end, not a lot of engineering in that :P.

 

Ok, so forget the name brand part. Still, which should I get, CAI or SR (with the vented hood)???

 

short ram is easier, takes less time to install (not an important factor but anyway), does not risk hydro lock in large puddles, doesn't drastically change torque or low end acceleration, is cheaper..... I'd say go with the cold air, unless you like what i've just listed. Not to say that theres anything wrong with the CAI

 

DO A SEARCH .besides who in the hell told you a SRI with a vented hood would really help you:screwy:

 

Short Ram=Low end power
CAI=High end power

 

SRI= no significant power
CAI= 2-5 hp
namem brand tubes dont matter but the filter does
stick with K&N

 

Honestly I'd go with the CAI. as long as you have an inner fender skirt to protect your filter from water that the tires may pick up and don't go rally racing hittting every puddle you can find you'll be okay.

 

cool, so i guess for me, short ram=NO. Thanks guys
