Short Ram or Cold Air?

Unless you cut your sheet metal and get out of the engine bay; you will end up with a HOT ram air intake. So it's that, a short ram, an enclosed filter boxed intake or a true CAI. This and you're still not likely to gain much more then 10whp.

OP, like others said if your intake pipe and filter doesn't go down past the sheet metal behind the bumper where it has cooler air. its not a cold air intake.

PPE is finishing their cold air intake which is a true cold air intake, and no drilling through anything that I am aware of. We dynoed my vehicle last week with it and I believe the car put down 308RWHP (I wasn't there). I'll be posting the dyno sheet and details as soon as I get them.
Bob is right though, the basic intakes out there right now are pretty much pipe and filter upgrades. If you want to wait for one that actually has the filter out of the engine bay, then be patient and it should be released soon from what I am being told by them.

Lol... cool short ram intake. As the rest of the party has told you, you dont have a cold air intake.

Glad PPE is making something, they make some quality products. BUT... 308whp I'm going to say... You're not putting that much to the ground. Youre especially no where near that if all you have is an intake.

I think PPE is going to try to get the car dynoed somewhere else because they also don't think it was dynoed correctly as well.
No idea what all of that means, but I do know it sounds awesome at WOT
.Either way, from what I have read most intakes aren't going to show massive differences on a dyno anyways due to the fact that the advantage with a cold air is when the car is moving it is sucking in cooler air..
I know they posted a pic of the prototype cold air intake on their Facebook page.
