Is there a significant difference as far as performance between a short ram and cold air? And do you have to do a lot to make the cai fit in the bumper?

with the cai you get a colder charge of air due to the intake being in the bumper, but on a sri the setup sucks air from inside the engine bay which the air is warmer. The short ram is good for a mid-hi range spike in hp. The cai is good if you are in an area with very little rain,etc. so you dont suck water into your engine. g/l with choice.

Very little rain? Rain won't make a difference.

Do you not have a liner anymore? I can't see my filter from underneath my car so I don't see how water can get in there. I've heard of it happening with turbos but never just a CAI.

Cold air is so much more better I honestly think your wasting buying a sri because thats what you already have. big deal about bigger diameter and metal piping. cold air is so much more better and honestly how many people have had there cars fuck up because of water? none. lol i just think its stupid honestly when people get sri compared to cai
