Default True cold air intake

I was just wondering if any one made a true cold air intake that takes air from some were other than the engine bay.
Thanks
Nick
And if not what is the best short ram intake out there for the price

They're all about the same.
If you custom make a top andSEALTHE BOXof the IPD (or the Eurosport) intake all you will get is outside air

Yup, so to answer your q. No we have no cold air intake systems. But the stock air intake has a decent amount of cold air and the IPD/EST intakes give more airflow and a nice aggressive sound

Not true, with the stock airbox you have a bunch of "siliencers" in there, using a closed short ram is DIRECT flow no obstructions

i have a easy and cheap one, cut a hole in your hood, put a tall rubber seal arround the top of your airbox and cut a big hole in the top of your air box and a hole in the bottom to let rain water out, it'll get the nice cold air in those cylinders
