What exactly is the difference between the two? I know ram air is more expensive but does it have the same effects/gains as a cold air intake?

I know that there isn't much difference in gain..personally I'd just go with cold air intake and save yourself A LOT of money.AIM: escalier deverre<br />\'02 Pearl Blue Metallic RSX-S (daily driver)<br />\'98 Black Firebird<br />98 V6 turbocharged to 02 LS1 swap<br />\'02 LS1/4L60E<br />LS6 Block, LS6 Intake Manifold, Thunder Racing 215/220 .600/.523/115 Cam, Titanium Retainers, Crane Double Valve Springs, 125 shot NX Wet Kit w/ NOS brand Purge, True Dual \"H\" Pipe w/ two chambers and dumps, 17x11(rear) and 17x9.5(front) Black Powdercoated ZR1 Replicas on 315 and 275 BFGoodrich Comp T/A\'s (Street)/ET Drags/Skinnies on Weldlites(Track), 3.42/LSD

I'm planning on buying a ram air hood just for the looks so I figured I'd get ram air, but does it add any other sounds to the car (like air swooshing under the hood) and what gains would I see,<-- I have a complete custom exhaust.1996 Camaro 3.8L A4<br />*RK Sport Headers, RT High Flow Cat, B&B Tri-Flo Catback w/Quad Tips<br />*17\" Camaro SS Rims w/Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP (275/40/17 Front, 285/40/17 Rear)<br />*SLP Speedometer Recalibrator<br />*American Sports Car SS Style Hood, Painted Green Disc Calipers and Drum Shells<br />*Charcoal Leather Interior

when you get a ram air hood, get either the raptor or the ram air H.O. they have bigger air inlets than the ws6 as well as allow more air into the engine bay. buy the ws6 ram air lower box and install it. cold air intake helps all the time, ram air intakes help when going higher speeds. the ws6 pkg. and hood do both.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />T-Tops, 3.42 rear gear stock<br />Mods:K&N Air Filter,Whisper Air Induction Lid, maf screen removed, raised air box, Kumho Ecsta 712 255-50-ZR16 tires, BMR stb<br />Mods not installed yet: FTRA, SLP Lsd/Differential cover<br />Near Future Mods: HPP3, GMMG 3\" Exhaust , 1LE Swaybars, Transgo Shift Kit, MSD-DIS-4 w/ Accel Coil-Packs, Turquoise Blue Neon Underbody Kit, BMR Adj.

you can get more air to your engine by going RAM air. Just look at the setups of the two. If you are looking for most power get the RAM Air, and get the Raptor Hood like they said.

You won't see 15Hp, but you might see 10hp from the air kit and maybe 2 more from the removed weight of the stock hood. That fiberglass will lighten your front end up!
