Best Short Ram?

Doesn't the CAI simply move your mid range power and put it at the top end? I've talked with numerous guys that say adding a CAI is simply re-arranging your power band, not really adding more.

I got K&N typonn kit and i like it alot. I do get heat soak while sitting at long lights but once u get moving everything cools down. Butt dyno likes, and it sounds great too! Plus no bumper removal.

Does anyone have a before and after result for the typhoon intake? Not dynos or butt tests but an actual improvement in 0-60mph or 1/4 mile? I'm thinking about getting this intake again. If anything it would help drown out the ever so loud engine noise. Kinda sad when your engine is just as loud or louder than your exhaust.

Actually, the longer tube should move peak power down, not up. If the diameter varies from OEM, or varies along the length of the tubing, it could gain (or lose) in both places. Of course, that's assuming the gains aren't from misreads on the MAF sensors...
