Whats better cold air or short ram intake systems?

Cold air. Most short ram kits only suck hot air. Which is worthless. better off leaving it stock

HAI- more mpg's and slower car probably a little more KR too.
CAI- Faster car less mpg's

I have a bit of a hybrid. My filter sits halfway in and halfway out of the fender well. I still get pretty good mileage (31), but can put a shield around it to direct more cool air to it when I want.

COLD air is better for HP.

Short is better for mpg

what about a short air intake with a large (say 6in or so) piece of tubing/pipe leading from the fender over the intake cone?

Who has the best cai? does the pipe make the intake or the filter?

Hot air intakes will get you the best MPG, without a doubt. A cold air intake will get you some butt dyno difference. I went straight from a hot air intake to my WizAired and the top end difference it made was clear the first time I got on it.

agreed...top end definitely improved for me after adding my FWI

both. pipe should be pretty heat resistant, and don't cheap out on the filter. I went with the 7" K&N, and i love it. i don't know if anyone uses anything else, but i've heard airraid (sp) is pretty good.
