Short Ram Intakes?

954K20_SI · 02-15-2006, 09:32 AM

I've been searching around and have'nt found any out. I called AEM and they said one was'nt in the works. I have a Cold-Air now for my Si, but would like to switch over to a short Ram, b/c of my hydrolock fear, especially living here in south FL.

i'd look for an air bypass valve b4 you get rid of the cai. with those the filter can be completly submerged and it still won't hurt your engine

As long as the end of the Filter isnt to low to the floor that the water goes in, I think we are fine, but personally, I dont know how low the CAI goes, and I havent seen any pics of it yet. But im gonna try to not drive it when it looks like its gonna rain, thats gonna be my trick

I have the CAI on mine, and the filter placement or end of it is tucked VERY snugly by the wheel well, and I can't see it getting submerged at the place it is. On my old car I had a CAI WITH the by pass filter, and it worked like a charm. It was only 80 CAD, BUT you have to cut your pipe in half to install it!!! However, I think you'd be just fine without one. Like I said, Honda did a nice job tucking the filter away.
Cheers

I've heard that AEM is making a Short Ram....but the release date is up in the air

theres been a short ram out since the car was released. I almost bought one but decided to wait for the CAI instead. I called AEM awehile back they had short rams in silver that was it..

AEM's backorder is supposed to be over soon. I'm expected to get my short ram on March 18

Just got news that AEM is putting off their short RAM because it's not producing anything decent.
