short ram or cold air??

Water in the motor is a very bad thing... it will take less then a teaspoon to blow your motor...

On the other hand on my 8G Galant I have been running a CAI all year for about five years now and no problems during the raining season. It will take alot to suck up water into your motor and your CAI will have to be at least 75% submerged in a puddle of water.

 

I live in Canada and have the SRI but I know people who have the CAI with no problems. Others simply just take theirs off for the winter.

 

Here in this picture you can see where mine sits...

 

jason did you get a new bumper?

 

Naw Travis... that picture was taken years ago...

 

So here's an easy one. I live in Texas. A lot of hot air. So which one should I go with and where can I get it. I am having a heck of a time finding one for mine. I have an 08 GTS. Where can I get my hands on this?

 

well it's up to you. but our vendors sell them. RRM has the SRI and AEM CAI and speed corp has the Injen CAI and K&N SRI. the choice is yours

 

I'm thinking of doing the K&N SRI. I'm pretty confident in them since I have owned them before. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

 

I have the Injen CAI, and I love it, but I wouldn't mind getting the K&N SRI because it'll be so easier to install and change the filter when it needs changing.

 

i live in south florida and i want to know..(for the power) which one is better for the cvt. and can the aem be used for the cvt? (price doesnt matter)

 

Where in south florida??

I hate these threads, specially cause it has been covered before

but my input it CAI all the way.. for me, there is NO SENSE in trading a "restrictive airbox" that pulls cold air from the front of your car, to a high ari flow intake suckinf extremely hot air from les than a foot from your header. thats just plain dumb in my eyes... as a matter of fact, i had a SRI for about 2 weeks, and 2 days ago i took it off and went back to stock, and honest to God it feels way more powerful stock... and LancerGTS agrees on this as well... But IF you want to get an intake get the CAI and put a pre-filter on it.. it repels water really well...

 

so best intake for money sri? i dont think i read ur post correctly

 

thats the sentece you gotta worry about in my last post haha

 

pre-filter? im not a noob, honestly i know more about a 2jz then my own hands lol i dont know why i didnt get s supra, but yea whats a pre-filter just another filter from another company?

 

I LIVE IN NOTHER CALI WHERE WE DONT SEE TO MUCH RAIN BUT I HAVE HAD BOTH THE ROAD RACE SHORT RAM AND THE AEM SOLD AIR WICH I REALLY NEVER NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE BUT RAIN ON THE THE OTHER HAND WAS AN ISSUE WHEN DRIVING THROUGH DEEP PUDLES SCARED THE YOU KNOW WHAT OUT OF ME WHEN MY CAR BOGED DOWN A BIT SO PUT MY OLD RRM INTAKE BACK ON AND ITS ALL SMILES NOW POWER PLUS NO HEAD ACHES IN RAIN

 

Do me a favor please



lmao had to do it.....

Pre-filter is a mesh that goes over the filter that repels water... Its also known as hydroshield... Click here for example

 

Would the pre-filter just restrict the air more, thus decreasing efficiency? Maybe it is decreasing a very negligible amount, but who knows. Does anybody have one of these filter socks?

 

i think i got one for Christmas, I'll let you know in the next few days lol
