    Default Diff: Cold Air Intake - Short Ram Intake

    Alright, I know the difference between the two, and obviously the cai is better. But how MUCH better. They cost more and are harder to install, so is it really worth it?

    A little better. Worth the dollars. Really, only CAI's show a power gain worth spending some money on.

    although thats true in most cases, for some reason i cant explain, certain cars will respond better to a short ram than they will to a full CAI. the KA24DE is a good example of that.

    Hmm... I can't remember... what's the difference between the two?

    I think, if memory serves me, a cold air intake is somewhat like an intercooler, and a short ram intake is one of these.

    LOL, a CAI is NOT an intercooler at all. It is just a longer short ram intake which draws air from outside the engine bay rather than inside it.

    the only one i can think of off the top of my head is a 240sx, but search aem website, and alot of the time the only kits offered for certain cars are short rams because thats what they respond best to
