Exactly, and the original question never asked about "cold", but all input is welcomed.
Yeah I know that but he said it was the only true cold air intake. And I was simply correcting him because it wasn't true
Exactly, I meant the other guy... but I remember reading on here and the intake performance results from the other site that the AEM true cold air intake actually doesn't perform well while at a stop... I'm wondering if they would be best more for track use rather than stop and go?
Actually yes, that is a true cold-air intake. So is the OEM system. A cold-air intake only has to get it's air supply from outside of the engine bay. That's literally the only requirement. A short-ram only needs to have a shorter filter-to-manifold tract and generally has a conical filter. A warm-air intake simply gets it's air from inside the engine bay.
Hmm yeah makes sense haha
OK, you're the one guy who I believe the most, it's just that absolutely everyone else talks about how the AEM is the only "true" CAI, but you're right and everyone should realize that on this.
Quite honestly, I usually recommend the snorkel-delete/drop-in. The reason for that is due to the extremely low cost comparatively, the sound was what I preferred, and the fact that it's cold-air and extremely consistent. My Steeda CAI would get a bit heat-soaked during the summer on my way home from work which aggravated me and when I had the Typhoon fitted I didn't really like the tone.OK, you're the one guy who I believe the most, it's just that absolutely everyone else talks about how the AEM is the only "true" CAI, but you're right and everyone should realize that on this.
That said, what do you recommend if you don't want to do the $300+ K&N or Steeda? Just the snorkel delete and drop-in? What about those Airraid and other ones for under $200?
Yes, it is. It locates the filter outside of the engine bay in front of the radiator support.
