Cold Air Intake ---> Short Ram Intake

[99ExCoupe]

As some of you guys know, I hydrolocked a couples of months ago so I bought a AEM bypass valve. I installed it on my intake, but I wasn't very pleased with the results. AEM says that you loose some power with it, and it isn't as loud. I decided to go with ultimate security and just have it as a short ram, so I took off the lower part and stuck the filter on the pipe like this!


AEM CAI w/ bypass

AEM custom short ram

Its hella loud now as a short ram...and I can feel a little bit more low end!

damn man... that looks so tizzle.. yeah man... short rams are bad ass....

 

[dee123]

if you want cold air, use your short ram with dryer hose

try it it may be ghetto - but it works

 

[Linguistics]

sell me the bottom half of your cold air

 

[99ExCoupe]

[Linguistics]

78 canadian cents

 

[99ExCoupe]

hmmm.....trade me one of your mufflers!

 

[Linguistics]

I would but I am gonna run the lower part during the summer when its like 105+ degrees down here.

Hey I have a 99EXsedan and i just bought a cheapo cold air with no instructions. I have two little hollow metal knobs and two smnall rubbber hoses as well as a knob with a grommet on it. How do i hook these up to my sensors?

 

[SUSPEK]

hehe thats a great way to save money!

you feel more low end in your short ram?? cold air is "made" for the low end...the short ram is for mid-high end.

its good to hear that you are going to go back to CAI during the summer because SRI are worthless.....you sucking in soo much hot air..you might as well have your stock box put back on

 

[x0supermonkey0x]

oh wait.... umm... what about the mounts?..... i dont suppose the firlter is just hanging there is it?... cuz u gotta have the little metal attatchments to bend into the stock mounts... did that come with the CAI?

I was about to question that? I just took off my cold air extention and my low end sucks. Top end doesnt feel any better. I love rockin the CAI but not with the rain.

i got a short ram on my car and its great summer or winter ... im thinking of running dryer hoze running into the bumper so air gets shoved up into the engine bay for it but thats ghetto ... if it aint broken dont fix it.

Thats why you make ghetto ram air like i did! I used like 3'' Flexible irrigation/drain piping that i bought from home depot for $4.10 My SRI NEVER gets heat soak...only cold air. I fed it from the front bumper grill all the through the bumper, and then rite under my intake...very effective.

Yea you would think so, but I can feel it, I also don't get really hot temperatures up in Winnipeg... Once a while in the summer when it gets 35 Celcius plus it kind of craps out but oh well.
