My ride

so far, custom clear corners, swapped all the bulbs up front for hyperwhites, blue neons under the dash, and i mounted a LED in the ashtray, 5% tint all around and 6.5 inches down the front windshield, replaced all of the interior lights (map lights and dome) with hyperwhite bulbs and i got some custom work on my right front fender from a random jerk who hit my car and didn't leave a note, asshole! friday its either CAI or a short ram, unsure right now i wish there was a comparison of the 2.

There is!!!! Just do a search in the forum and i am positive there is something. I know i did the same thing cause i was wondering about that. I have decided on going with CAI vs SR due to the short ram pulls warm air from the engine compartment and the CAI pulls from the front of the wheel well behind the drivers side fog light. I am also thinkin when i do get the CAI i just might pull my right fog light and put a mesh screen in the place of it so i will get direct air flow. still contemplating that idea.

the thing that would make the sri specail is the fact that in the winter the sri would do almost as good as the cai do to the temp drop, i know that in the winter my cai was so cold my engine couldn't get any colder a was eating fuel like a fat kid.

I've thought about this...........and considered using my stock intake in the winter. I'm worried melting snow might get on it, then suck water into the TB.

I've got the stock one on right now cause the dealership's had my car in 3 times this past month, and will have it again in 2 weeks. so it just might stay that way till next year's break-up.

 

[mellowyellow]

Never really thought about that. But I may (someday) go somewhere warm or at least warmer than this kind of climate. IMO I like the CAI. So thats what i am going to get!!

Corksport has a fender liner replacement that does that job actually without having to remove your foglight http://www.corksport.com/content/00/01/06/61/73/uploaded.files/installed1.jpg there is an installed pic heres their intake page, http://www.corksport.com/main.php3?primNavIndex=0&mainURL=/store/index.php3?cat=220745 I'm thinking of getting this also when or if I decide on the CAI
