You can make a shorter ram intake by simply putting the filter on the throttle body. :)

In all seriousness, though. I would recommend doing some kind of thermal barrier/break to isolate the filter from the under hood temps and that exhaust manifold.

You're possibly my favorite uploader on KZread! I've learned a LOT about cars and the way components on cars work because of you and I hope to continue learning more and more, keep up the excellent work!

All these “hot air intake” comments are baseless.... At a stop it's true that the intake will suck in hot air from the engine bay, but as soon as the car is moving, the underhood temp should drop and the intake will suck in cooler air

I love the sound of an intake system :)

you should always reset the ecu after mods like this(disconnect negative battery terminal for 5 minutes) it takes a fresh look at air intake etc so you get optimal timing/fueling maps... at least thats the way ive always done it anyway subscribed :)

You'll like how it sounds when you drive it... Short ram is helpful at lower RPM ranges... Cold air intake is better for higher RPM ranges... But not safe around deep puddles of water...

Cant wait for the CAI and comparison! Break out a dyno!

good choice on the intake as well!

Engineering Explained you should test 'hood risers', or even make your own outta some spare fender washers. they're cheap and i know there's a ton of people that are curious to see if they really allow hot air to escape the engine bay more efficiently

Just a quick note, a cold are intake or CAI won't have any benefits if you have a turbocharged engine. The turbo will compress the inlet air which causes it to heat up, the intercooler will cool it down again. I know that in theory it is always beter to have colder air in the first place, but in practice the difference is negligible.

Not exactly. Lets say you have a block of ice at 0 degrees celcius and you have a cookie at 20 degrees celcius and you put both in a 200 degree oven for 5 seconds. Which will have the most temperature increase. The turbo is the over. While the cold air intake will remain slightly colder the effects are diminished greatly

Hi, first off, great videos. I really enjoy the practical performance tests and explanations.The combination of simple explanations and mathematical formulas is accessible and informative. I know the process is to put requests on facebook, but I don't have one. I would be really interested to see a simple performance test comparing ethanol-free gasoline and the 10% ethanol gasoline sold at most gas stations. I think the potential for detrimental effects on engines of using 10% ethanol gasoline is well known, but I wonder about its effect on engine performance. I think this would tie in well with some of the recent videos about Shell gasoline and oil technologies Thanks.

Glad to see that you still have the Integra. How often do you drive it?

I have heard that with an after market air intake filter you have differend exsaust sound..is this true?

looks good!

Hey man. I got a question Does the resonator need to be removed when installing the SRAI?

You should unplug the battery or reset the ECU so that your car can read a just or reset learn the new air amount. With out the heat shield around the air filter the air is going to be less dense therefore less power.

Does the installation of this new short arm air intake improve the car performance compared to the old one, besides making the car lighter?

Are you planning to build a airbox arround it? Maybe with piping to a air inlet in on the front bumper? Im thinking about this and it would be nice if you could test it and make a video about the results :)

So did it help to produce any more HP? Did you measure your HP before installation? Tnx

would a short ram intake have any negative effects in cold temp (below 0)? I've heard some rumors, but i'm not to sure about them.

Please be sure to do a comparison between cold air Intakes vs short ram. And explain the horsepower and torque gains or losses.

Ryan Singh You got it.

EE: I put a 10" air filter (spectrum) to my short cold intake, previously I had a 6", what's the difference besides the length?? anything beneficial ?

and what of the resonator and such? do those need to be removed?

are the filters water proof? because due to washing or frm outside rain water , are filters not jammed?

what about sound. short air vs cold air... air there difference in sounds you might here from a wrx?

Not only are aftermarket intakes lighter but all the dips and bends in the factory equipment may limit the flow of air... Having air travel through something that is much smoother, will or should increase air flow... Also, having a less restrictive air filter will assist with this process in improving efficiency

+TheIronlefty Yep

So why didn't you take out the resonator for the air intake? Its like 7 pounds and is pretty useless now. Also, if you're testing an SRI and CAI side by side, did you get the kit that has both on one? (As in an SRI you can put an extension on to make it into a CAI)

It may save 2.2lbs but you have removed the cold air intake this can increase emissions and reduce power. In Australia it is also a vehicle defect.

I know it's very late but...i had a question about how the air gets into the engine in this setup. In the stock setup the air was sucked in from the resonator i presume? from where does this filter get its air ? thanks in advance :)

Naah, a stock system has (usually) long piping all over the engine bay to quiet down the engine, and it usually picks up air from inside the bay anyway (AND, that piping will get hot). Since this intake (SRI) is shorter it'll allow a short pathway for the air to take. (More air = more power)
