hey guys, havent posted on the site in awhile, but i have a question that im sure has been answered many times, but i cant seem to find it. i was thinking about switching my AEM cold air intake to a short ram. i remembered reading awhile back that since the pipe is in 2 pieces that you could take off the bottom one and put a new filter on the top pipe. has anyone attempted this or knows anyone who has attempted this? and if this is the case what size filter would fit the top pipe? any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Why not use the filter from your CAI? Just buy some filter cleaner and install it on the top pipe (assuming there are no clearance issues)

If you dont have clearance issues and you use your AEM filter, it will work.

i considered doing that..b/c of where the filter would be, i believe its the AEM CAI where the filter will end up closer to the engine, but more air will flow in through the grill, rather than being behind the battery in the SRI..you get what im saying?? stick with the originial filter...if your doing that...but waste of a part...well you can go SRI or CAI depending on the simulation of driving

yeah i know its kind of a waste, but it would set my mind at ease with the winter comin up. i do alot of driving and ive had it on for the past 2 winters but, im sick of worrying about it. so im assuming that the pipe diameter of the top is the same as it is at the bottom? so the same filter will fit up top?

or you can just but new rubber tubing...for a small price (idk the name of the piece..)

You can take the bottom tube off and stick the filter on the top peice...

if you buy the AEM short ram... that is what u get..

I bought an Ebay deal and did the same cold air to short
