Ram-air or short ram? they told you what short ram is but if you were meaning ram-air, that refers to some kind of a scoop under or in the front of a car. Ducting to "ram" the charge of air flow coming into the engine Ram-air is by far the best air induction system to run. Then cold-air last short-ram

why would you need a snorkle if its rain that makes the flood...? i mean your gonna get water in better that way than having the intake normal right?
the amount of water or moisture that you get from CAI is just same as amount you would get from having the engine turned off and on in cold tempretures u know CONDENSATION. so just dont matter unless you are driving in water... but if you do that i dont think you are smart enough to know what CAI is or is even thinking about it.

Hey, i just wanted to show u guys how stupid some people can be
check out those two pictures and the first one if u wanna. It shows that this kid is calling his intake a cold air. Now obviously, he knows nothing about cars. This kid goes to my school, and annoys the hell outta everyone cuz hes a cocky annoying poser. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/432867/3 I know its a VW, but this kid is just a douche bag What he did was this, take out the stock air box and put a K&N filter cone on the stock tube. He is calling this a cold air but obviously its more like a short ram and what was listed before, short rams are the worst type of intake. It really isn't all that much of a short ram either, it still has the stock tube that is rivited. All it does is just make ur engine and exhaust sound different. They also can blow hot air in the engine, which is worse than stock. Please, voice your opinion on how stupid this kid really is

so in order to get water into your engine, the cai has to be completely submerged in the water? lets say you hit a pot hole on your left tire that was filled with water and it splashed everywhere. would you cai then suck in some water? what if you made an aluminum sheet cover thing and put it on the bottom on your bumper, to elimate the cai sucking up water. would that work?

Supposedly driving in rain wont really affect ur CAI or engine. Its just a little bit of water compared to a pond of water. People hydrolock their engines cuz they drive through a flood with a CAI and dont have those bypass valves. Basically driving in rain is safe but not driving through a river.
