    A well-designed short ram is the best way to go, from a safety and a power standpoint.

    A cold air intake often takes air from the bumper area... which is a problem in floods. It tends to make better midrange, and if it's designed well, will give you some charge-air boosting and resonance tuning, giving more power than a short ram, but generally, it's not worth mucch more than the SRI. A short ram's only problem is heat soak in traffic, which can be minimized by adding a heat shield.

    Pros, more intake air, better tubing (at least on the first one), which actually accounts for a lot of the gains in power.

    Cons: no heat shield, may feel sluggish in hot traffic. MAF adapter may be altering air reading, causing a dip in power, but if it feels more powerful, then it isn't hurting your MAF, and you can leave it as is.

    thanks for the input sir niky .. i do feel sluggish nga pag naka idle sa traffic (yung nasa first pic altis) .. a slight drop in rpm when naka idle in traffic specially at noon .. MAF?

    The MAF is the sensor screwed into the pipe.

    Get a cheap Simota heat shield and it'll be perfect.

    Yup, that's the MAF. And I don't know specific stores, but I'm sure Blade or Concorde has it.
