A short ram intake is not made to pull in cold air. You will only get that from a cold air intake. A short ram is designed to pull air in more quickly. Gains are roughly about the same between the two, just all depends on what look you rather.

I like the short ram intakes better anyways, in my opinion .

Deff pulls air in faster, less of a strain on the engine, less turns and bends to go through.
Example, take a straw, put it in your mouth and the other in a cup of water and suck in really fast.
Now take about 5 straws, make one really long straw with them put it in a cup of water and suck in, which one is easier?
The shorter one.
