FAQ- Cold air/short ram intakes

[spardikis]

i will have to post up some pics of my diy 304 stainless cold ari box with mandrel bent alloy piping onto a k'n pod...looks bling azz and has much better response.

+1 to you ..

Good Work

if your not overly fussed with looks, use a WAI (Short ram) setup.

-with the custom intake pipe, use fibreglass wrap like you do with headers and wrap it.
-also get intake/TB heat nulling spacers.
-either keep the stock airbox or get a shielded pod.
- get a CAI tube with a bigger funnel pointing at a spare air dam if you have a kit and have the end of it pointing at your pod

what's the power gain difference between CAI and short ram intakes, or are they the same?

CAI should give better high rpm gains. SRI has better response at low rpm.

Make your own! I have a KN Panel in my stock air box with a DIY CAI. Works a treat. I swapped the Panel for a pod and it sounds loud as well.

Rained heavily recently,got a bit worried, so when i got home, popped open the bonnet and the piping at the top of the CAI was dry, and so was the area immediate to the opening of the CAI.

The area immediate was also very cool to touch, unlike previsouly very warm.

Made up my own CAI the other day with abit of help from a mate that works at an exhaust joint, got a DRIFT pod had a great write up in a recent Zoom magazine. anyway the sounds... god damn the sound is so loud but i love it..

going to make up an alloy box for it next weeek end will post some pics soon.
but loving it

it depends wat engine it is. for B, F, D they all have the same intake layout.

but for K, its completly different, the CAI > SRI in all rpm's
