whats the difference between sri and cai intakes? i know i'll get some s*** for askin' this question

 

sri (short ram intake) : They are short, the filter normally stops right where your old air box used to be.

cai (cold air intake): They are longer, the filter normally got closer to the ground taking in air that is away from the engine. This is to get colder air than what is in the engine bay buy getting it further from the engine. The danger with these is that if you hit a HUGE puddle (lake) and the filter gets full of water you can potentially f up your engine with all of that water. These also normally get better performance than a sri.

 

thanks

 

there's not much difference, little better throttle response with sri, little better performance gain with cai, overall, not a big difference, but it could be depending on the application

 

SRI = throttle response

CAI = top end gains

also, the only way to hydrolock your engine (thats what danomatic was tlaking about) is to completely submerge the filter. And an air bypass valve helps out with moist normal moisture getting from rain and whatnot

I've heard CAI's also have a deeper rumble, but i cant say wether or not its true.

 

Yeah, lol, that why I put "lake" in parenthesis. You have to try to hydrolock your car.
