Cold Air Intake
OK so I havent really looked on here to see if there is a similar thread on this issue but i have to ask for youz guys opinions. What do yall personally think is better? The Cold Air Intake or the Short Ram Cold Air Intake? And im not talkin bout looks, dont get me wrong tha short ram looks bad ass but what would be appropriate for better performance, horsepower and all that good stuff?

CAI gets cooler air from the outside while the Short Ram sucks up hotter air due to being inside the engine bay but with CAI you have a possibility of hydrolocking your car due to the filter being too low.

the only real benefit to a intake is cleaning up the engine bay since you can get rid of that enormous stock airbox
