Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior hrmm preferation?

so heres a debate on two things id like to get
1. Short ram Intae
2. Cold Air Intake

i was just wondering what the difference between the two were, besides the basics off how they go on and how one takes cold air from bottom etc, but i was wondering if you guys could put the pros and cons of both for me, and also the gain difference

CAI is a better investment, you don't have to worry about heat Intake, but you do have to worry about bogging, but if you get a splash shield you'll be fine. if you get a CAI I suggest the TPR, if you don't have to worry about CARB that is, by means of CARB legal, I dunno much about either AEM or Injen. Short ram is good if you wanna increase your low end(correct me if i'm wrong) but the CAI I belive will produce better gains than a SRI, Check previous posts, there's A LOT of them, Emphasis on A LOT!

Hope this helps ya

dont get short bro, just don't

i like my injen sri, good gains and sounds awesome in higher rpm's

i'd get CAI.. actually I did.. when you do get a Cai you may want to do this too

^^^ Good Idea! saves you from bogging, you might also want to invest in a splash guard and a Bypass valve better security so you don't hydrolock

I love my Short Ram. I have never had a problem with it boggin down.

From what I understand the SRI gives better low end and the CAI gives better high end.

^^^ And the TPR gives both!

ive heard too many problems from people with cai, and short ram is prone to the same kind of problems. personally i think i am going for some headers and a trd filter. cai is going to give about 6 hp diff from trd filter, short ram like 4hp diff and you dont have to worry about puddles or the rain.
