With the SSRA, they claim that it's angled away from the radiator, so it doesn't impede the air flow to the rad. I've never really compared the different intakes made, so I don't know if any others do that as well, but because of that reason, and the fact that it reaches all the way down to under the car , it seems like it would be the best one made so far

I don't doubt that its the best setup out there, I'm just saying it's the most flimsy of all the ram/cold air setups. It you've got the extra cash I say go for it, if not, the others work very well.

Oh, and the way the SSRA attaches to the car is with 4-5 SCREWS, yes you heard me, you have to drive several small screws into the lower front part of your car, right into the paint... it's not pretty and they don't hold if you nudge something say a curb or parking block.
