Intake Systems!

I know most of you will say that buying a cold air intake is a very cheap upgrade, but for people like me who work @ McDonalds.. It's awesome! Only thing is i have no idea as to what kind of Intake system I should get for my 2k1 Max.
Should i get a Short Ram, or Cold Air Intake? Your Suggestions?

Just going to warn you, they are gonna roast you for not using the search bar. They have so many of these made already lol modding on a budget I feel you, short ram is better unless you do a custom cold air intake into the fender. If you want to make REAL power get a 3.5 or 4" intake but that route will be $$$ seeing as you need a tuning device and other things to gain the absolute powaaaah. But for now do a short ram, stay away from injen.

@OP - do you really have some disposable income for the car????????


JWT POPCHARGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or 4" SRI with jwt popcharger filter .. But then you might need bigger injectors and a tuning unit.

Not much love for CAI here

Injen goes behind the radiator. The whole design of it is just stupid, all you end up with is lots of hot air.
