Default intake question

I have an 09 tc. Injen cold air intake. DME header. HKS Hi power exhaust. Glass pack resonator (eliminate header rasp)
(Maybe cams in future)

With this set up, is it better to go short ram or keep it cold air? Which will generate more power? BTW, for anyone interested this intake is great. =)

I have done some research into this and have found no answer. I figured some one on here will have a legit answer and how it makes a difference in the TC from personal experience maybe...

thanks in advance guys!

Always stick with cold air when it comes to bolt ons. Why would you be trying the get rid of your Injen intake? Anything else you buy will not be as quality? You already have the best intake.

It honestly will make no difference in performance that you can feel. The con of having a "cold air" intake is filter location, and the extensive length of piping that will warm the incoming air up. A short air or "ram air" will obviously have hotter air come in. But heres the catch, between the 2 you're looking at 10* at most in difference, not enough to change anything on an N/A 4 cylinder.
