What is the difference between a Cold Air Intake, and a Short Ram Air Intake? Is there a difference between the hp you get with each?
Thanx for the help.

 

Cold Air > Short Ram

 

Difference is where they pull air from. SRI usually place the filter a foot or so away from the engine and have a straighter pipe. The CAI pull air near the fender wells, and the tubing is more twisty.

People in places like the upper northwest generally go with the SRI cause a CAI can pull water in the engine when it rains.

BTW do a search cause this topic has been covered many times. A good word to use is "hydrolock", SRI, CAI, induction. GL

 

Like "Ghost 1" said, do a search. And post to the "drivetrain & power" forum as well.

And unlike what "onefiend" said, "CAI>SRI" is not always true. Especially on the xB. All you are really doing in buying a CAI for an xB is spending more money for a little more flash. The performance gains of a CAI over a SRI on the xB are negligible if existent as all.

I highly recommend you take a look at the Fujita F5 SRI for the xB.

 

agreed especially since I have the Fujita SRI lol
