ummm, in our cars....yes, it is. you will not find a difference.....other than aesthetics.

Intakes I’ve had quite a few, which are normally called WAI;s and CAI’s (warm air and cold air) but the real names for them are long ram intake aka CAI and short ram intake WAI.

Short rams are usually more abundant, and from proof they run pretty much similar to long rams. A bit more quicker throttle response can be seen due to a shorter path and less bends to travel through.

Long rams are a bit more rare and are usually mounted down in the fender. Also another note, there are people always referring to “true CAI’s”…don’t know where the term came from, but the only difference between a TRUE CAI and a CAI conversion from a WAI, if the fact that parts came with the alleged “TRUE CAI” all in one package. The filters are all mounted in the same exact area, and the pipes travel the same path. Sometimes they charge you more for the name TRUE CAI depending on where you go. J

Now, The reason I am leaving them to long or short rather than Warm or Cold, is that from measuring with a temp sender and gauge. There was a difference between the two of 4 degrees. Also another bit of note, it wa ian lacey or matt teske, one of the two dynoed a WAI at 9 hp, aem just dynoed one of their CAI’s at 8.6 hp. So does that mean WAI;s are better? No. they have just as many downsides as a CAI. Some people think the heat is extremely bad under the car, which is a myth, cause when the car is in motion air circulates under the hood. So basically you get the same air temp as a CAI.

With a CAI, the filter is mounted low, and in the summer time or sunny days we all know heat absorbs into the ground, and then…heat rises. The lower you have the filter, its still gonna take in warmer air. And also, COLD AIR, is normally what you read. However, use a bit of logic. The air is cold in the winter time, but in the summer, its hot outside. The air your intake takes in is only relative to the air temp outside. There are plenty of companies to buy from. A lot of people swear by this and that, and that’s personal choice. Doesn’t exactly mean something is better, and there DEFINITELY isn’t a BEST. If any one claims that theirs is the best simply ask have you tried all the other intakes available? 9 times out of 10, prob not. I stopped after the rksport CAI, mantapart CAI, rsm WAI, mantapart WAI, and about 5 other self made intakes… there really wasn’t much difference in temp nor performance. Yea I wasted money, but I wanted to see what was all the hype. Back then intakes were around 200$ now they bump into the 300$ range. Some can justify it, I can’t. it’s a metal pipe with a filter on the end. Keep in mind every company out there has made a public printed claim that there intake is the best, or gives the most gains

strait from the FAQ.

enjoy

Nah if he wants to spend the money let him..lol...induction dynamics makes a "cold" air intake for your year..enjoy the anal rapage for the same power diff..lol

the only reason its enjoyable to watch is some of the members on here can think of the most "interesting" responses for such threads....

i wouldve answered the question.... but it already was answered basically. that and searching couldve provided mass linkage to a sites that sell "cold air intakes"

well on my 99gs a cai or fwi is better then a short ram hot air intake. the blower screams and for sure you can feel the difference. i guess it depends on the car too

is ok you like the drama no big deal . next time you come on my threads keep it positive thats all . i did some searching but i just wanted to get some ideas and i did read the faq on the intakes before i started this thread.

I awnsered your damn question buddy!


What everyone is saying is there is no difference between short and long as you would have read in the FAQ. Our cars are not a 99gs, and just cause its loud doent mean its going faster or has more power..just sounds meaner.

It is a question literally asked once every couple days and should seriously be in the newbie section.

I searched "cold air intake" and got 14 pages of threads,,go figure

itll save a ton of money. back when i bought my first intake (ICEMAN back in 02) it was about $170! when i got it i couldnt believe a company could make that much money off of these things! it was seriously a small plastic pip with a connector, filter, and two tightening bands on it. i felt gypped for sure.
next time i need one i'll buy used or make my own.
