Cold Air or short Ram?

Hi peeps~ I live in British Columbia, as u know we have a great landscape but the weather is horrible (sometimes... lol not lately [too bloody hot]).

I've got a question for u intake knowitalls

Cold air intake or Short ram?

I hear that cold air messes up the engine if rain gets in~

I ain't no pro... so i need some suggestions plz

I'd appreciate the info.

Thanx

Neither. Unless you just want more noise, that is. The best of them (maybe Rotary Extreme) have tested to show they only provide a few HP above 6000 rpm, no improvement below that. The rest of them don't provide any HP increase, but actually lose power. They all, however, make a lot of noise - for many people, way too much noise.

The factory RX-8 intake system is very well designed. There is not much power at all to be gained from replacing the intake.
