Can someone please help me make my final decision. I want to get a short ram intake for my 2004 Ralliart. Money NOT being a factor which has the most peformance gains. No Guessing or opinions please, actual numbers or factual data is what I'm looking for if anyone has it. In case your wondering eveything else is stock for now, except for tires (stock goodyear's suck). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm narrowed down to injen, RRM or AEM. Thanks!!!

It would have to be RRM.

RRM: "OUR INTAKEs OUT DYNOED , INJEN and AEM!"

So there's your answer.

Just PM ROCK for data if you don't believe the largest, respectable aftermarket part company for our RA's.

Cheers!

They're all practically the same, you're not going to notice a huge difference between any.

That's the problem RRM claims theirs is the best via Dyno (but is that for Short Ram version or cold air intake or both). AEM claims there's will out perform any other brand. So it's hard to decide, who do you believe. I found the AEM for $188.00 shipped, not a bad price plus they have the new dry filter system which sounds like less hassle/less mess. But is it really worth another 40-45 dollars? RRM is still cheapier. Looks have to go to AEM though. Anybody have any thoughts on the heat soak factor...any one better than the other in that aspect (dry filter VS oiled)??? Thanks Again...

It actually says both on the website.

AEM, INJEN, RRM, bah!

man, if your going to buy RRM's, you better SAW of the stock tube from the airbox, and go to a bar and have some beers for you and your friends with the $150++ , because its the same diameter a little longer with dont have any difference in performance, so if you want to spend 150+ in a thing you can get for $10 (saw price)+ 5 minutes, the go ahead

anyways short rams SUCK's, you better spend a little more and buy a INJEN or AEM cold air, that you can use it as a Short Ram or Cold Air intake (because they are 2 pieces)

And if you still want a ShortRamIn. well, i recommend INJEN or AEM, that at least its a compleate thing

thanks, dont miss understand this post, RRM its the BEST on RA parts (perf. and styling) good prices, but I dont think their intakes are the best option

First i ran i SRI and a CAI noth injen on my auto and think the SRI overall is doing more. Low end and torque are increased compared to CAI which lowers the low end for high end gains.

As for which SRI to use, I think its a matter of which one you think looks nice IMO.
The difference in gains between brands will not be noticable without a dyno and still will be small at best.

I chose injen b/c its 2pc. so i could experiment with SRI or CAI (ruling out RRM) and b/c AEM doesnt make a CAI for autos (as of when i bought mine, dunno if it changed)

Thanks guys, think I'm gonna go with the AEM Short Ram. Looks better plus like you said it's a complete piece back to the throttle body. I would like to go cold air 2 piece but I figure I'm never gonna use the full cold air system cause where I'm located it rains alot and streets flood around my daily commute. Plus I really don't want to spend $260.00+ to get an intake, plus a bypass valve for the possible hydrolock factor I have. Thanks again.

wide open boy

i just crashed my 06 lancer ralliart if your are interested in a injen cai intake i think they out proforme any other intake and it also fits the auto or manual version
i will sell it to you becuase i am playing on selling my lancer i also have an exhaust enkie wheels and alot of other mods that might go on sale if you are interested
my intake is also equiped with an aem air bypass valve for safety there no way your going to suck up water with this and you will no regret teh mod trust me
