hey guys quick question b4 i go to work, would it be worht it to buy a R1 short ram intake from nopi for 27.00 dollars? would it put out the same hp as the stillen short ram. i drive a 94 se (vq engine) and stillen doesnt make a cold air so short ram is my only choice. if so ill purchase it right away. thanks for the info.

If it's a cold air intake you want, i say go buy a CAI from wrapspeed. With the WS CAI, you have have both the short ram and CAI at your own liking, and the best part is, it comes with a K&N filter so that's a bonus. Now about the nopi vs the stillen short ram, they are pretty much the same thing except for the fact that nopi comes with a tube and a crappy filter and stillen only comes with a k&N filter and an adaptor. And with intake, the filter makes all the difference. So you can either go get the nopi intake and spend 50 bucks more and get a k&n filter, or you can get the stillen and get ripped, or you can get the WS CAI and switch between a short ram or CAI whenever you want.
