It's pretty well established that these short ram intakes are a waste of money.

The stock airbox setup flows very well and keeps the filters isolated (to a degree) from the heat of the engine compartment. We've seen with a number of short-rams that there is little to no gain over stock, and in some cases there is actually a power loss. My guess is that when dyno'd below operating temperature or with the hood open, a short-ram intake will produce about the same power as stock. At operating temperature and/or with the hood closed, however, the intakes get heat soaked and you most likely lose power over stock.

This short-ram will be no different than those before it.

If you actually want to make power, buy the Stillen G3 or the Injen long-tube. Those are the only two proven CAIs available for this car, with the G3 being the design producing the most power.
