We need to make something like this. That might be as good if not better than a CAI.

are you kidding me?? tell me you just didn't say that.....a short ram is a short ram, that thing dont even have a heat shield or anything how can it be better than a cai? its more or likely wrapped in cf and not even worth it for the cost + shipping

no, that looks like real CF to me, its bloody impossible to get metal tube to make those shapes for cheap. its WAY easier to do with fiber/resin.


heatsheilds and wrapping them dont do squat really, the pipe will get warm no matter what, but the amount of time the air spends in the pipe it wont really absorb any noticable amount of heat. a CAI can lower "throttle response" since theres a longer path for the air to follow, but honestly an intake is an intake. that honda one does look nice tho, it has a chamber in it like motor cycle and 2 stroke intakes. it keeps a large volume of air onhand for that snap to wide open throttle which is good, it helps elminate the tendency of some motors to get a little bogged when the throttle snaps to WOT.
