I'm not necissarily looking for tons more power, but some what of a boost along with better gas milage. I hear the short ram is cheaper and is easier to clean, especially since I'm in more of a wet climate, with the down fall of just losing maybe a few hp. So for the moment that is my top choice but I'm not positive. Do you think that should be my choice? Or should i rethink it and save for the CAI?

Yes, the SRI filter is easier to clean and cheaper but you do have more under hood induction noise. Another consideration that is more readily apparent on engines 1.6 liter or smaller engines is the response time when you go to Wide Open throttle. The moving column of air in a CAI takes a little longer to accelerate (won't go into Newton's Laws of Motion here ) than the SRI. Byron
