I have the Injen SRI and it's great. But then again I don't know about the AEM SRI. If I'm not mistaken, Injen also offers at an additional price an extension pipe that will convert your SRI into CAI.

 

thats exactly why i told him to get the injen one :P cuz he can convert it into a CAI for 100 bucks when he realizes that CAI is better :P

 

I'm thinking about getting it also. It'll be cool to switch for winter and summer. The price is affordable also.

 

i live in east tn so i was thinkin about rain. what is the chances of water getting into the cai. i just feel comfortable with the sri so i was going to go with the cheaper of the two.

 

I recommend the Injen Short Ram. You can switch to a CAI if you care to do so later on by buying the extension pipe. Just to state what I have heard here on HCF, a CAI has to be submitted totally in water in order for your engine to hydro lock.

 

ebays short ram would be perfect, they are all pretty much the same w/ a sticker on it besides the v2, but out of those two i'd go w/ aem (better color choice)

 

yeah i agree... u should get injen so if later on u were to want cai and explore somethin new u could do so.

here is the link. check it out.

Good luck

 

like ray said, you have to COMPLETELY SUBMERGE THE FILTER IN WATER to hydrolock your car! a little water WILL NOT hurt your car, if anything it will help it by cooling off your engine ( polo). IMO hydrolock is an overrated problem

 

very true... and if ur that paranoid just get a bypass valve.. its very cheap and affordable for everyone [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

well i guess u can just consider me a noob or what ever but thanks alot for helping me out. you've all been very helpful.
