How much horsepower do short ram intakes add?

Both cold air intakes and short ram intakes aim to bring more air into the engine. This results in better combustion and more power and torque. Some manufacturers claim that their intakes can add as much as 20 horsepower. Both cold air and short ram intakes provide a smoother path for air to follow to the engine.

Do you need to tune your car after short ram intake?

You don’t need a tune with a short ram.

Which is better cold air intake or short ram intake?

A short ram eliminates the resonator and filter box, giving the air a short travel distance and hopefully increasing power. That said, it’s pulling air from the engine bay, thus the intake air will be warmer than by using a cold air intake.

What is the purpose of a short ram intake?

Short ram intakes (SRI) look to increase power by reducing the amount of restriction on the intake air. In many vehicles, the intake air passes through a resonator and silencer box to help reduce induction noise. This restriction can limit airflow.

How can I make my short ram intake louder?

RE: How to make my short air intake louder Get rid of short ram intake and just put the cone air filter on to the throttle body. That will make it loud for sure.

What are the disadvantages of a cold air intake?

The cold air intake does typically get denser air than the stock intake. However, since it is longer and more requires more complex routing, it is often more expensive. This increased complexity also leads to a more difficult and time-consuming installation.

Should I put a cold air intake on my car?

More oxygen means more power from your engine, so improved airflow is an excellent way to increase the performance of your vehicle. This is where a cold air intake system is extremely effective; improved airflow. This inexpensive mod can be exceptionally useful if paired with other vehicle enhancements.
