I recently installed the short ram air intake from automat central and here are some pics too.
this is what i received in the box.
this is after i removed the stock air box, its really easy to take out.
here is what the engine looks like with the intake installed.
The instalation of this was really easy. The hardest part was making a new hole for the air sensor. i installed mine in the middle of the pipe as you can see in the pictures, but you could just cut a slit in the rubber boot and stick it in there.
I have noticed that my car does get better gas mileage and a little better performance. It is true that you will get more performance from a true CAI, but i think that airflow is more important the the temp and thats why i wanted this one,and the price is right on this intake at only 69 dollars. This thing sucks in air a million times better than stock and you can hear the difference.
The only cons i had about this product is that i didnt know what the two metal brackets were for and it would have been better if a different rubber boot was used.
Overall its a good product that greatly improves on the stock model and is a lot cheaper than other intakes on the market. if you wanna order one check out their link in the Supporting vendors section or AutoMatCentral.com - Premier auto accessory specials
