What is the difference between a short ram intake and a cold air intake?
Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender area and bring in cooler air from beneath the car, which is denser and creates more power. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it does not make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall.
