You wouldn't want a short ram intake on a s/c imo. You are just drawing in hot operating temps under the hood which can be 80~100* more than they are from your fenderwell.

i would wait until OTTP releases their 3" stainless steel one. The aluminum intakes rub on the opening where they go through the weel well, and eventually a hole gets cut itno it. Steel, not a chance

A short ram on a s/c is like wiping before you poop it doesn't make any sense
