I'm looking for an intake.

Should I go full CAI or just a short one?

and why?

 

Go short ram. Reason being your filter will never get wet and cause problems. I had a K&N before I went supercharged and I loved it.

 

I had a injen cai. never had issues with it getting wet. im running the LT bumper with fog light holes but no fogs in there. still never had issues with the filter getting wet... i liked the sound of the CAI over SRI anyways

 

What ever is cheaper? Some people say one is better than the other but its never anything worth debating about. If you get a CAI, probably should invest in a hydro shield, I have one with my injen in a CAI configuration.

 

what do you mean? you like it quieter? i always thought SRI was much louder, i just bought a K&N intake and i believe it comes with an extension to CAI pipe, if not ill just make one to try it out, id MUCH rather have an open ended filter and just run a pipe to the lower bumper rather than have the actual filter down there.

 

my buddys cobalt runs a SRI and i had the CAI and my intake was much louder than his..

 

I plan on doing an SRI delete.

The air flow coming from the LT bumper on that side seems like enough to go with short-ram I would think.

 

I have the k&n typhoon SRI and its pretty loud...not sure how a cai would be loud since its all the way in the bottom where the bumper is at

 

Get the injen intake. It's both a cai and short ram. Best of both worlds.

 

I have a SRI and when I get on it I can pretty clearly here it gulping in air. To me a CIA wouldnt be loud at all.

 

I have the injen CAI but before I installed it as a CAI, i ran it as a SRI. SRI seemed more responsive initially but on longer drives it gets more sluggish (heat soak i think is what causes this). CAI seems to start a tiny bit more sluggish than SRI but does way better on longer drives, especially highway. I don't know if everybody has this experience but that what it feels like to me. as far as sound goes, I think my exhaust overshadows it cause I haven't heard any change other than maybe making my exhaust even louder lol that could just be me though.

 

I have the injen cai and never had a problem. Its nice though, we get some bad flooding sometimes and ill switch it to the sri.

 

Short ram, car runs better.

 

i have the AEM CAI sounds awesome but it does get a little wet. no damage from it though it's been in sice 05 and its still there. in the end the choice is yours

 

Hmm?

 

Ding Ding!!! Best seller, Injen hands down, dont settle for anything else...

 

That just how I feel. It seems to pull smoother and has a better drivability. I actually got rid of the lower half the intake last month.

 

I got an Injen with a hydro sheild. I ran it as a cai for alomst 2 years and no issues. I just switched it to Ram air in oct because i got a ram air hood. Both sound the same to me, but i would say ram air gives a lil more kick at higher rpms, But that could be due to my hood aswell.

 

just buy an injen CAI, it has the option to be CAI or SRI and it's about the same price as a K&N SRI or the GMPP SRI.

 

Looks like everyone (or the majority) all think Injen is the WINNER!
