cold air? short ram?
my 96 rs eclipse is stock at the moment and i plan on making it at least alittle faster. i planned on starting out with a cold air intake, but when i looked at them of the internet, i noticed they sell a "cold air intake" and a "short ram intake" can anyone tell me what the difference in these two products and which is more effective?

Re: cold air? short ram?
Cold air takes in colder air while short ram pretty much just opens your limit with the airbox (takes in a bit more air).
Dont expect to gain anything, like 2 hp at max. Hardly even feel the difference. I would get a Short Ram just for the sound really.....

one more question to add to this thread... when i change the intake, what is the little 3-4 inch tube that connects to the tube to the airbox? it just has a clamp that is removed with vise grips.

Re: cold air? short ram?
Buy an intake that is 2 pieces. So you can use it as a CAI and a short ram, whatever you like better.

Re: cold air? short ram?
CAI and short ram are different. since none has explained the difference i will. CAI usually goes down into the front of the wheelwell. a short ram stays in the stock airbox location. cai will get slightly cooler air but will get dirty faster and can suck up water
