hey guys can you tell me which intake cold air system I can get in the market and converts to short ram, I know Injen does on the RD1985, but do you guy knows if the new version RD1986 can you convert that to short ram?? or any other brands that does that, and also where I can find a good price on them?

 

You can convert any cold air to short ram if you don't mind cutting the pipes. Otherwise the AEM and 3 piece Nismo can also be converted easily.

 

so I can convert the AEM or Nismo cold air intake without cutting the pipes into short ram then right??

 

Don't do the Injen short ram. It has no heat shield so you suck in hot air. Plus the idle drop was starting to annoy me. After I went back to stock, I couldn't be much happier with a smoother and consistent ride.

 

which injen did you get the newer version or th RD1985

 

get the simota cai off of ebay, its only 114 and you can make it short ram if ya want( no cutting needed), includes a heat shield and looks good.

heres mine, full install tho

Why don't you just buy a short ram?

 

because I want to use Short ram in the winter, so I wont have a change of getting water in to the engine. During Summer I'll use CAI. Summer is hot here at where I live.

 

youd benefit most with a cai in the winter

where im at it rains like hell in the summer and a little rain to no snow in the winter

have you picked which one youre getting?

 

After putting on an aftermarket front bumper, I couldn't get to my AEM air filter w/o removing the bumper or taking the wheel well off. So what I did was convert the CAI into a "pop charger". I cut off a 2" piece from the tube, bought a pop charger heat shield, and made my CAI into a pop charger.

I noticed no difference in performance, but I do hear the air filter more!

Here's a pic of it w/ the old filter (I have since replaced it w/ a K&N cone-tipped filter to take advantage of air coming from the opening in the front.
