Short ram or Cold air intake?

Cold Air Intake Edit: I will explain, the engine already gets hot enough, the stock system is pretty good on its own, to really see any gains you are going

Cold Air Intake

Edit: I will explain, the engine already gets hot enough, the stock system is pretty good on its own, to really see any gains you are going to have to jump to a CAI system.

Cold Air draws air from outside the engine bay. Stock, Injen, and Stillen G3 are examples

Short rams have the filters and air source inside the engine bay and typically lose (or don't make as much) power because of the heat. JWT, Takeda, Nismo, Stillen G2 are examples
