Re: bad short ram

no, it won't hurt your car at all - unless you break something on install. the most common thing that people worry about with intakes is getting large amounts of water in their motor, more often with cold air intakes as opposed to short rams because cai's tend to be a lot lower to the ground than short rams. you should be okay with a short ram though.

They are just getting on you cause you got to learn to use the search function. They encourage you to ask questions, but only if it is one that hasn't been answered already. Every ounce of info on intakes that has ever been thought about before has been covered a thousand times on this site. Don't be discouraged though, as you can see your question was answered anyway. Have fun learning my good man, and enjoy the site.
