I bought my car with an AEM cold-air (not the v2) and i've been trying to trade with someone for a stock air box in the NY/NJ area but no success so far. My goal was to spend no money, but if I have to spend money I'd rather get a short-ram intake than the stocker.

I really don't want the cold-air cause this is my daily driver, and it's low, and yeah I just don't want any problems. So my question is, if I have to spend around $200...what short-ram is good? I like the Comptech ice box, and I know it's more than $200 but I like how it's boxed in and doesn't suck up hot air. Help me out.

 

You should be able to pick up a used K&N for under $200. Or just bite the bullet if you really want and buy it or comptech new. Keep checking the for sale forums.

 

i just installed the K&N FIPK its preety awesome w/o worries of hydrolock and easy to maintain + no cutting (AEM) + no rubbing of the air box (comptech) mine cost. . . 220$ picked up

 

This,with a JR Filter,should be around +/- $200.00

 

the PRM intake or the K&N FIPK <--which seems to be another popular intake

 

PRM is definitely a good choice too, gets decent gains and looks better than AEM imo.

 

is the PRM in a box?

 

^nope

www.gofastlab.com i believe its on that site

i know its on the s2ki marketplace

 

I'm partial to the K&N FIPK... it's a great intake
