Hmm, well this has been discussed SEVERAL MILLION different times. From the brand name to if the Short Ram is better than the Cold Air one.

I highly suggest you invest in the K&N FIPK II.

Just my .02...

Edit: Nevermind on the AEM V2.

Cold air is better than short ram. Check the dyno results at Aempower.com or injen.com. I don't have K&N so I don't know.

I have the AEM CAI w/Bypass and have been contemplating a change to the K&N FIPK II for some time now.

AEM or Injen CAIs are your best bet.

Here's the breakdown - generally speaking, if you have a manual transmission, a CAI is going to give you better gains (most of the time), but for an auto the SRI is a better choice. I have the FIPK II and it works great. Sounds good, gives gains over 3K RPM's and comes with a heat shield to help you suck in cooler air. Cold air = better performance.

Now, for a place to buy the FIPK II you can check the group buy section, or check out PerformanceCenter.com - I think when I researched it, before I got in on the group buy that was the cheapest place I could find it. $233.99 - I think you get free shipping with that though
But you might wanna look around, or like I said try and get in on a group buy.
