I'm debating whether getting the AEM short intake or the long intake. As corny as this may sound...i love the sound of the long intake but I like the bling factor of the short intake...seeing it when you open the hood.

Do they sound the same?

 

The short - ram intake might be slightly louder because the filter element is closer to the driver, but I don't think the sound would be drastically different.

I would however recommend the CAI. The CAI at least has the potential to make some type of gain. The short/ram, while it still represents a better flowing design than stock, takes in more heat soaked air from the engine bay than the CAI does.

I guess it's a matter of opinion really. I also like the short/ram look, but I like power better, even if it is just a single horse. If you want that bling look, buy a bling heatshield to help cool the intake charge a little. Take care.

Why not just get the Injen CAI. It can be configured as a short-ram intake as well.

 

Thanks guys...I like the injen but i dont like how the filter goes to the front of the grill..too bad you didnt have the option of short ram air with the CAI model. I guess I can live with the polished pip bling minus the filter...i guess it looks more mysterious seeing the pipe come down then into the front...but I just love that sound!!!
