"Short ram" intakes, lol

Homeslice · 06-25-2011, 09:04 PM

In the car world, why do aftermarket companies use the phrase "short ram intakes" to describe intakes that do anything BUT collect ram air? All they are are pipes with a cone filter. Nothing is being rammed, there is no pressurization going on, so WTF? Whoever came up with that term should be shot.

I lol when someone talks about a trans am with ram air. The only one getting rammed is the person paying the price.

Actually, that IS a ram air system. OK, maybe the seal between the hood scoop and the intake isn't airtight, but it's a lot closer to "ram air" than the shitty aftermarket products I'm talking about.
