I ran that setup and I think that the CAI has a nice sound and serves a better function. I can notice a better difference with the CAI. Plus if you feel the CAI pipe after driving for any length of time, it is still cool to the touch and so is the short ram. I noticed a big difference in the temps of the intake. I am not sure how much of a temp difference there is with the UIM though. That has to be doing something for performance in my opinion.





WTF?! Are you going by your butt dyno? I've touched a few CAI pipes that can burn you after driving, where are you going with this? If you want to justify your purchase by saying you like the sound better, that's cool. But between a proper short ram and CAI setup, the short ram outperforms the CAI. If you're pulling ambient air with a short ram, you're getting better "function" than getting ambient air from a CAI. Is this hard to understand?
