I have a quick question for everyone. I want to kno what is better intake wise. Would getting an AEM short ram intake be better than an AEM cold air intake? I am looking to purchase intake and i dont kno which to buy.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Most people have wacky reasoning like this. I'll just let it sit that most of you havent taken fluid mechanics or thermodynamics. But weeding through all the crap you read is tough too, AEM's CAI is the best one available for the focus right now. Besides an intake with a spinny thing (turboOriginally posted by MyBlackZX3:
Get the cold air? Aight, b/c i thought that with the short ram being, well, shorter, that it would make the engine work less to get the air, therefore more power, but on the other hand, cold air would be better for the engine. Does neone have SHORT RAM to tell me the hp increase or nething?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Once again I'll point to thermo and fluid mechanics. A smooth intake pipe with no bumps inside has no area to transfer heat to the incoming air. The color of the intake (given that they are smooth) would actually have more of an effect. Darker colors being worse and lighter colors being better. Its funny how little thinking goes into some of the intakes.Originally posted by MichaelXi:
Personally, I recommend the "Plastic-Tubed" k&n FIPK, or the Volant intake, (Either one), with the SVT Snorkel for cold-Air...
They're both "Shorty"'s, but have more heat resistance, as well as great flow.

What does FC TB stand for???
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I like the AEM's design the best by far. I wouldnt mind seeing one like it with bigger piping, but then you need that $300 MAFOriginally posted by KicknZX3:
ruggedman i see u stand by aem but being i have dealt with many intakes i would vote aem towards the bottom...also u talk about the thermo mechanics. well what about volant and iceman being a much larger dia in piping...the better sized tubing for a larger maf too...i have seen dyno's for several intakes. aem makes good gains but not enough to stand by it. have u done tests with intake charge on various intakes? or no...anywho i'm done
