Short ram air intakes are a popular aftermarket upgrade that enhance the sound and performance of an engine by increasing air flow. There are several other names that are used interchangeably for this modification, such as a cold air intake, performance air intake, high-flow air intake, and free-flow air filter. Each of these terms describes the same modification but with different emphasis on the benefits they offer to the vehicle. Additionally, some brands may use their own name for their design, such as AEM's V2 intake, Injen's RD intake, and K&N's Typhoon intake. Ultimately, no matter what you call it, a short ram air intake is a simple and effective way to add more power to your engine.
