what is the difference in power for the CAI or Ram air? i know the CAI gets the cold air but through lots of bends, but the Ram Air gets whatever air is near, but in a straight line?

replaces your existing plastic/rubber pipe with our light-weight aluminum pipe, stops sucking hot air from high temperature engine compartment, add instant horsepower (10-15 hp)
i believe it would be a CAI if it stops the hot air

I agree with Vagabond, that doesn't look like enough piping for a CAI.
Also, I hope you realize you ain't gonna get anywhere near 10-15HP. 3 or 4 if you're lucky.
If it does fit, Id get a different filter right away, that one looks like crap.
CAI--filter goes more down into the fender well; air is a little cooler.
SRI-filter is still in the engine bay.
Personally, for the rather small difference in gain, I prefer the SRI just 'cuz it's easier to change/clean the filter.

i think what he's saying is just because it adds power dosn't mean its a good buy. the product could be a piece of crap and break or something. caveat emptor - consumor assumes responsibility to assure the quality of the product.

correct:
caveat emptor=buyer beware. latin.
that's what happens after 12 years of catholic school, LOL
I would never make fun of someone's spelling! Unless you were, like, a total dickwad or something, then it's open season.
