Short Ram intake (My writeup):

They dont really make intakes for our car, so custom is the way to go

Re: Air Intake
Was wondering the same thing. have a 92 GS and trying to make the choice between the two: Injens stream cold air or Weapon R "secret weapon" short . Both look like good products. Don't want to have to fab my own. even $300 isn't that much for my "Baby" If anyone has experiance on one of them would appreciate!!!! Thanks
1992 GS, Full body Kit Costum shaved, Crazy Stereo, 17" rims, Insane shaved hood!!!!!!! Too much Too list!!

Re: Air Intake
if you search up the differences in google you'll find lots, but i don't mind giving the brief description
cold air intakes and short ram intakes use the same filter the difference between the two is the location in which they are in, being in different locations they pick up different air
a short ram intake is located inside your engine bay relatively close to the engine, the location of a cold air intake is by the front fenders of your car lower to the ground.
the downside of a short ram intake, being located in the engine bay can sometimes pick up warmer air (from engine) cold air intake being lower to the ground and away from the engine picks up colder air.
colder air is more dense and has more oxygen, in turn providing more performance, the downside to the cold air intake is that being closer to the ground increases the chance of sucking up water into the engine. now i hear it's not really a problem because normally it's a small amount of water so it evaporates before it even gets to the engine, but i'll let you be the judge of that.
that's pretty much the difference, there's probably much more but that's all i needed to know, so i stopped reading after that

Re: Air Intake
now IIRC the weapon R is a foam filter and the injen is a gauze filter, so there's the main differences besides one being a cold air intake and the other a short ramRyansMX3 wrote:Was wondering the same thing. have a 92 GS and trying to make the choice between the two: Injens stream cold air or Weapon R "secret weapon" short.
