please search - - you'll find all the answers you need and then some . . .

 

you'll find the short style intakes (like rrm or rmr or dragon) are the only intakes that will work for you. the injen and aem intakes are out of the question. they all sound about the same from what i hear. and the horsepower gain is about the same for all as well.

 

What's up bro. I suggest you search, but if your too lazy to do it, then here's a few tips:

1) An Intake will give you both better mileage and better performance for either auto or stick transmission. It will also sound alot better. When you see an Intake that says it will increase your horsepower by 7-10, bull****! I can tell you that from experience. I just purchased an AEM, and have to say it's the best in the market nowadays. If you do get an intake, make sure it's a good brand, such as Injen or AEM, and not a $30-$90 Intake that claim to make a 7-10 horsepower difference. Remember, when it comes to an Intake, performance first. I recommend AEM, not because I bought, but because it has the highest horsepower raise and performance raise when compared to any otehr intake in he market nowadays!

2) Get an exhaust, or an ECU upgrade. Getting an exhaust will make your car alot louder, and sound faster like you wanted. But when it comes to an exhaust, don't go for bigger size tip, you'll lose performance. I can't stress this enough. Getting an exhaust that's 4" will push out too much air and you will feel the performance loss. As for an ECU, it's always an expensive, but great way to increase performance.

Hope that helps, peace!

 

cai will only give you about 4-6 hp increase, with muffler rouhly 7-8 hp, if you drop a header+tb, you could probably geet about 15-18 hp increase

 

not trying to deny the other facts stated here, but i have the RRM short ram and i love it - - - sound is ridiculously nice . . . the difference in HP you get between this and say . .AEM or injen . . . is marginal at best . . . just my opinion - - -

 

Show me the dyno results from the Injen then i'll believe that statement. as far as anyone knows injen and aem are the EXACT same.

 

everybody used the k&n filter, probably the same material pipng, and thus prbably the same increase

 

That statements only based on what I know. Maybe they are the exact same, but whenever I bring up AEM, all I hear is "highest horsepower raise" and so on. I don't really hear much about the Injem Intake but I'll take your word for it!

 

What about the DRAGON short ram intake? i've been reading online about it.. seems like alot of people have them.. and are very happy with them.. any comments?
Thanks for the help so far!

btw, whats the RMR website? thanks again

 

and whats this "short ram, cold rammed intake heat shield" from dragon or whatever??? http://www.dragonintakes.com/coldair/

 

Almost anyone can say that they are happy with their Intake, doesn't mean they are getting the best results. Go for either AEM or Injen, whichever one you find a better deal on, I promise you you won't regret it!

 

BINGO

dragon intake is crap from what i hear - - -it uses a foam type filter and they're garbage - -again . . just what i hear . . . don't kill the messenger . .

 

i don't think thats a good buy, it just gives you heatshield and a filter, piping is not even included?

spend like 20 dollars more and geta real kit like aem,injen, or iceman

 

"iceman" intake? website? please..
thanks
