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 ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)

^^^ Good Idea! saves you from bogging, you might also want to invest in a splash guard and a Bypass valve ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif) 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. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)
I'm gonna take your little Civic. Dust it off. Turn it sideways and stick it straight up you candy A*s.

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. ![cool cool](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/cool.gif)
