It depends on where you live. If you have a lot of rain in your area, Go with a short ram intake. You can find plenty of short ram/cold air intakes on ebay. Any other questions, email me at aalqaq2@yahoo.com

Go short, AEM is one of the better ones for about 100 bucks. Don't buy a crap one off ebay.

short ram gives better mpg in the summer, cause warmer air means ecu injects less fuel in the engine. cold air gives a bit more power but less mpg.
