i was wondering.. im new to upgradeing cars do you think i should even bother with a short ram intake .. or save my money.. i want some preformance

Short ram air will get you some hp but it will sound cooler, performance wise it depends on what car and engine you have...

Ever since i put an SRI in my Solara... I couldnt imagine not having one. I then put a CAI in my 08 Yukon, a K&N in my Pathfinder, an AEM SRI in the Accord, and a CAI in my DeLorean.

Heres a vid of the Solara

Yes! youll probably gain like 5-15 it also depends on the amount of miles on your car. low end mostly

short ram = more hp at lower end rpm range
cold air = more hp at mid-high rpm range

If you want more hp look at the superchargers, there is a cheep one going for sale right now! 1575 lowest ive ever seen!! and gabe (trd4life) can hook you up as well with parts!

are you auto or 5 speed?

ive got the auto..but you think there will be a definate sound diffrence?

by **stringbean** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 6:05 pm

Definite! every car i've put one on there has been a big sound difference!

custom short ram on my 94 3.0L v6 Camry
custom short ram on my friends 01 3.4L V6 Monte Carlo (huge difference @ 4rpm)
custom short ram on my future car (current parents car) 99 Chrysler LHS 3.5L V6

my fav thing is red lining going under a bridge or overpass sounds so cool!

For $35, you can't go wrong, even if it's nothing more than eye candy.

don't do it, just get a freer flowing filter (like AFE) and put your money in a TRD rear sway bar and some headers
