hmm do you have any intentions on turboing your car? if you do just go with short ram. plus i dont think its worth it for 100 for 1-2 hp.. and i believe the cold air gets dirtier alot quicker so youd have to clean it more often..

cold air only works better for the most part depending on your temperature. for instance if u lived near the equator, it'd be ptless. it draws in denser colder air and its lower to the ground vs. the sri thus bigger, yet small hp/tq gain.
