o ya also where is the best place to buy parts online???

 

cold air intake works better than a short ram. aem is a reputable and quality brand. just a suggestion, if you are tight on money you can get an ebay kit and replace the filter with a quality name brand one, like AEM, Injen, or K&N.

 

i read on the other page that a short ram is better.
