yes the length of the air ram is very important.
i just change my air ram from short to long last week.
will up load the pic this evening after work for you.

ha..this one depends on many factors & depends on what car you're driving.
catacomb had spoken, always face it in a cooler area preferbly a place where cold air is directed to the POD.
thats why u see a trend now is to dig a hole in the front bumper.

otherwise don't use open pod because it's sucking air from every direction. no matter it's hot or cold air.

u should get a direct drive pod which sucks air in one direction only.

let's take my satria neo for example. last time it was a short air ram facing inside (below)

response was ok but still sucking hot air, so i've changed to a "S" shape ram like this pic i borrowed.

i've tried it for a week, response was superb because the air ram was long enough to keep air inside, my old direct drive pod was facing the ABS area so at least it's not facing the radiator. moreover it sounds like vtec rrrrrrrr sound. so called vtec sound lar... FC dunno yet... still in the midst of testing.

noob here, whats a low end torque & top end?

i felt something... when i reach 90-100km it feels... different from the old short air ram compared to the new long air ram...

i cannot picture it in words...

i see, thankiu for the explanation
so catacomb do u agree that long ram pipe has poor top end power?
thats how i felt lor....

wow! so fast reply de...

so the best recomendation is: short air ram + cold air is it?

last time had anyone complained about their long air ram before?

oh u mean the pic u showed the other day the pod connected directly on the throttle
well, but long ram also has some advantages right...? compared to short ram...

here is the pic for TS

just lidat only meh
then why not use short air ram + CAI hose to get cooler air lor... wouldn't that be more effective?

i see, i understand what you're saying. CAI hose need moving speed force to feed the POD with cooler air.
i'm still in the midst of testing mine, can't conclude any answers yet.
but thanks for sharing.

how should i repay your kindness

eh! don't buttseck me lar...

Added on April 30, 2009, 10:12 amya thought of that too but must open a hole in order to fit the CAI hose.
sakit hati lar.. wana open a hole in the bumper
so i might remove the fog light in future to fit the CAI hose but have to make consideration for rainy & flood season becoz my car is quite low & M'sia, u know lar... always here flood there flooded... sian!

difference in the POD lor...
1st one is an open POD & mine is a cap ayam direct induction POD
CAI stands for cold air intake.
