Should I go for the cold air or short ram intake? Keep in mind this is going to be for a daily driver, so does one have disadvantages over the other? I tried the search feature but couldn't come up with anything...

it does not really matter in the grand scheme of things.. they all basically make noise.

i have a cold air AEM, and it does look good in blue. i don't feel any difference when i take off the second tube and run it as a short ram.

Cold air intakes should not be used in the winter. Slush tends to build up on the filter and then gets sucked into the engine ka blam blown motor.

I'd go with a CAI, i really see no reason not to.

i'm running mine.. its covered by the bumper and plastic underneath.. not much will get there.. i would change it its jus when it was warm i was too lazy and now its cold and im.. lazy

FALSE...4 cars, 6 years never ever happened...then again I dont go around driving through slush puddles that are 2ft deep but I guess some people do stuff like that

I've had both and I couldn't find any difference. The short ram was louder, but the performance felt the same. It does get dirtier in the winter, but you'd have to drive through an awfully deep puddle to suck in any large amount of water. I've gone back to my stock airbox and I have an ITR one for next summer.

if you do like to drive in puddles get one of these aem air bypass valve

Is there any names I should look into when purchasing?

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

mmm contact automotive warehouse. . .they have CAI's on sale for i think 64?

I like the CAI , I 'd had one for six years now with no problems what so ever and I drive with it all year round . I like the fact that the motor is taking in cold air rather than hot air ....

I'm sure theres a performance gain once the car get up to speed...

I like cleaning it just before winter and once it's spring...

this is the automotive warhouse one. i bought this.. satisfied with it... it does the trick and i believe its stupid to pay 200+$ for pipes

imported_caloge

this is the most useless thing ever, you might as well get a short ram cause thats basicaly what your doing to you CAI when ou out this in

cee_mon

Get a 2piece kit if your are worried and change it to the Short ram during winter and cold air during summer. IMO its not worth paying the $200+ to get an AEM system when the knocks off arent that far behind.
