How to Order a Short Ram Intake System

Creating more power for your performance vehicle can be done quite easily with a short ram air intake system. These parts are installed under the hood and do not require the lift of a garage. A short ram air intake system will keep the cold air moving over your engine for maximum torque at all times, yet it is cheaper and easier to install than a cold air intake system.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Check with the manufacturer of the short ram air intake system to make sure that the part you order is the correct size for your make and model. These parts are not one size fits all. Prices will vary for different vehicles too.

2. Find out if the mounting pieces will be included with your order. While the intake system may be the right model for your car, you may need to modify the attachments with special mounting brackets and hardware to achieve the maximum results and to make sure it stays in place while you drive.

3. Ask about the return policy from the Internet site or store where you purchase your new short ram intake system. This system is will cost you a couple hundred bucks, and you don't want to be stuck with one if it is the wrong size or if you change your mind. Keep the original packaging until the system is installed and tested.

4. Think about colors. This system is one automobile accessory, besides seat covers, that comes in different colors. If you go with a blue or red short ram piece, it will be easier to spot any difficulties if they arise. Plus, it just plain looks cool under the hood.
