im looking to get a injen intake system, and i see short ram looks hot but is there a difference in perf. ?

 

not really, there are some that say CAI will make more power (its getting cooler air) but then a short ram makes more noise. Its really personal opinion. just make sure the short ram has a heat shield.

 

i have a K&N short ram and i saw a difference in both performance and sound!!!
i would recomend it... it also looks better because you can actually see it rather than just seeing a tube!!!

 

i wud go with a full cold air intake..due to the heat soak of the sri..our ecotecs get really hot..when i first put my injen on i had it sri..it was too loud..then i added the other attachment for the cai..and it made the car run cooler and not as louder..def felt a difference in the seat too..with the driver mod

 

there cant be that much heat soak.. its about the same distance away that my cavy short ram was and my cavy ran hotter than the balt. short ram is perfectly fine.

 

I'v had my short ram in for awhile sounds louder.

 

yea ill be able to say how it sounds... im installing my typhoon tomorrow...

 

i like short rams better


Sorry, im an *******!

 

wow nice one..hahaha. the sri on our car...make the engine sooo loud..hahaha.

 

full bro

 

lol..

 

I like how it sounds, People always tell me how loud my car is.

 

are u ever going to come out for a meet bro..ur cars loud....my car is louder..hahaha

 

Mines loudest!

Trust me, lol.

No cat........and the ARK N2 is known to be the loudest cat-back alongside the Megan and SLP.

 

haha u mite of got me with the no cat..im catted..MEOW?!?!

 

full...

 

I kinda like the mega ram




Like i said, im an *******!

 

GMPP with intake resonator removal! i will recommend GMPP only if you can get good deal off second hand....its not worth the list price imo and better off with brands like K&N

K&N SRI typhoon (2.4 specific) is my other recommendation

 

i had sri, and just recently added the extra pipe for CAI, the sri is definatly louder by far, but i could feel a bit of difference with the CAI


*edit* btw i have the injen intake

 

SRI will make your IAT run ~12-15* WARMER then stock airbox on a 2.4
CAI will make your IAT run ~5* COOLER then stock airbox on a 2.4

I know this b/c I have an Injen, and a DashHawk... Ran the SRI at first but notice a significant increase in IAT temps, switched to the CAI and saw a decent drop. (Did this on the same day so I know outside temps didn't affect my "study")

 

i live in tx... .. ive debated this with people before.. the ground here gets hot as hell.. it cant be that much cooler witha cai here than with a sri...

 

is the SRI with heatshield?

 

No, the Injen doesn't come with one, and that is the one the OP mentions...

 

i got the k&n so ill get to see first hand if heatsoak is an issue...

 

KN SRI>All

better sound, better performance so forth..
