    alrite here's the deal.
    i took the silencer off of my 08' lancer which is attched to the air filter box and it gives me the exact same effect of running a short ram and the same wichked sound.
    this will cost you no money.
    you can put in a K&N filter to replace your factory paper filter to give you better performance.
    i just put a mesh grill in the big opening to keep bugs and other random stuff away from the filter.
    im sure the RRM intake sounds sick but this is for ppl who want the same thing for FREE!
    car runs perfect and sounds awesome!
    try it!

    im sure it doesnt suck in s much air as the short ram....which i pesonally find not worth it as its like 12inches big...lol.....i rather do wut i did and then get a cold air when they come out with one....

    that was its main source of air, the air box filter is barely sucking in air now because it doesnt have a direct flow


    run ur car w/o that for a couple of days, drive it hard and see what happens

    been driving like that from the day i got my car......runs perfectly fine!!
    i havnt had any problems.....not forcing u to do it bud.....
    and enough air enters the hood anyways.....lol
    there is always exceptions to certain rules....

    where do u think the short ram air filter sits?.....lol....
    there is no tube going to the back where your airfilter would be....
    the box is pretty much at the same spot...
    so if ur car ran like shit with the piece that i tok off.....it would run like shit witht he short ram too....lol :D

    I would say there always enough air under the hood. but its the air temp that would be an issue. Hot air less for compression. Coll air is better. But the silencer just restricts the flow into the engine. His idea sounds okay but i just think it could be dangerous mess slips off and big old bug or some other foreign object. But i think ill try it out just to see the difference. But Homie could you PM the pics so i can see all you did thanks. I'll post my results asap. again thanks
