it depends really on what you want. Cold Air tends to generate more HP due to the location of the filter unlike Short Ram which generally sits on top of the motor in most cases. Downside about Cold Air is if you dont have a bypass valve for water to exit the intake then you could suck up alot of water into your motor *Only on rainy nights with pools of water*. Knowing that you live in Ca. & the recent rain storms, i would go w/ the bypass valve if injen has 1 only if you go w/ the Cold Air.

Go with Cold Air. Short rams just gives you a different sound. Cold air gives you sound and horsepower. Cold air has a downshaft and they also have inline water filter available to avoid getting water in your intake.

weapon r is a good productbut so is K & N. All CAIs are basically going to give you the same increase, just some sound better and are cheaper lol.

rear strut bars will drastically improve handeling. yes it makes a difference, just take a turn at 30 - 35mph and you can literally feel control of the whole car, and not just which way the wheels are turning. the tC is a pretty soft ride as it is, so these little things really stand out.
