I don't like the CAI cause every time you have to take off the bumper and mod some parts... yes I am lazy...
after installing my springs I vowed never to let laziness affect my choice for parts. I'm def going CAI over short ram w/ heat shield

also I dunno how normal $300 is for a ticket. we were stuck in the middle of the light when it turned on me so I had no choice but to move forward. the bus was stuck halfway in the intersection and I was driving my grandma home so I was distracted by blathering. funny thing is once I got pulled over she got out and walked home (it was less than a block from her place)

The difference on the power gain claimed from both brands are less than 4hp, I doubt there's any actual difference on both during actual driving...

I just don't like taking the bumper off when I have to clean the filter, and the short ram just working fine sound&performance wise, so I am happy with the short-ram.

But of course it is really a personal preference...

Regarding the red-light ticket, are you sure you were at the middle of the intersection during the light change??? If so, they can't give you a ticket because of that...

It's kinda funny that you got by your Grandma. I would get her to pay for half of your ticket.

Still really sucks about getting a ticket for that though.

Yeah, I guess 4hp doesn't mean much when you drive a Prius.

no dude, consider Prius has 4hp, add another 4hp is a 100% gain!!!!

But no matter they have 4hp or 8hp, they will still try to race you....
