New air intake system?
I just got a 2010 xd and am thinking about installing a cold air intake system or a short ram to increase mpg a little and maybe even hp. Can anyone give some input as to which system would be more beneficial. I know that the short rams are cheaper and easier to install.
Also, can anyone suggest intake systems that are CARB certified. Darn PA for adopting that. I am all for reducing emissions, that's part of why I drive a zippy little car. Why would they make it illegal to install a product that increases mpg?

you might get about 5hp with a cold air. injen or fujita are ideal but look at spectre filter cone swap. its cheap and u'll enjoy it for what it is.

Thank you both for the input. I have seen a few other posts on other threads about cai's and claims of slight mpg increases (i.e. ~2 mpg highway). I have also seen the claim of 5 hp increases. I know this is not too significant, but I think they look cool too. We will see. Still want to do a little more research.
xdkidd, thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely look into those.

I also wanted to mention that I could only find two short ram intakes for the xd. One by HPS and the other a Weapon R. Does anyone know anything about these brands. They don't seem to be as well known as others like injen, k&n, DC, etc.

oh yea. haha sorry. I work for an autoshop so the guys i take to smog over look that stuff for me as long as my emissions are fine. I seriously dont see why it would be illegal as long as you can still pass the emissions part of the test just fine. *shrugs* oh yea. I love in California so emissions is a real pain in the ___... >.>

this is what i did with my Injen Cold Air Intake. The company says this intake adds 8hp and 9ftlbs of torque. It's pretty easy to instal.

i got the weapon R short ram with the duct ran to the bottom. the gas is more or less about the same. the throttle response is a huge improvement so is the low end torque. sounds pretty throaty too.
