There is no such thing as ram air but the JLT RAI is probably the one id go with...and coming from me who has a CAI from them. The CAI wont net you any more than the RAI and the CAI has sucked water up into my engine and thats not something i would risk. So just get the RAI from JLT.

I dont see how that it is possible. I have driven in plenty deep water for years with no problems ever. I think this is a myth that needs to be dispelled. Unless you are forging a river, there is no way to suck up water. And my car is slammed btw. Were you the poster who hydro locked a while back? i think something else happened... lol I just find it impossible...

just get whichever one looks better to you, the metal thing isnt true, the air is traveling too fast to get hotter while in there..

Save your money.. just put in a K&N filter and LEAVE the stock silencer.

+1 seems kinda fishy to me... in all honesty dont by a cai. and especially dont buy one and heat wrap it... the only reason i have a cai is because when my motor was built the guy at theshop took longer than he said he was gonna take so he threw in the 24# injectors the cai and the udp.

lol a heat wrapped cai ... HaHa

What he said. I have both. I got the CAI, it was awesome and everything, but then came time to clean the filter...kinda PITA, so I got the RAI cheap. You don't notice a difference between the two. The advantages of the RAI are:
1. You hear the air more
2. It isn't subject to a huge *** puddle
3. looks cooler to me.

I wish I had taken some pics of the new RAI, but all I have is the CAI. But take a look.









And I have had the comment before, so I will just say that it is a 75mm TB that it is bolted up to in the first two pics.

I have Jlt fender intake and that's the only one I would do because if you get the ram air one you are still put hot air into the motor.

Well my car was not slammed at the time and it was not that deep of water. Just went through a puddle and the water splashed up on the filter and into the intake. It was not enough to hydro-lock the motor but it did stall out but fired right back up 2 seconds later and hasnt given me a problem and its been a year and a half. So its not a myth. It happened to me and my car wasnt slammed but it was right after i got it installed and i was still getting used to driving with it and fully missing deep puddles while driving. So there is a way to suck up water into your motor. My car is now pretty low and i dont suck up water and thats because i miss all the puddles possible and the ones i have to hit, i go through incredibly slow.
