That’s really cheap for the short ram intake. I bought my short ram intake 2 years ago and I liked it, but now I want a CAI. For me, a new AEM is too expensive, so I’m getting a HP Racing CAI or some other cheaper kind. For any intake, I don’t think the brand matters. The AEM is ceramic coated which is supposed to make a little difference, and their intakes are apparently designed for each car. But I think they’re all just tubes with filters on the end, so I’d but a cheaper CAI. Write a product review post if you get the CAI. ---
