Me: No more gay jettas Sent: Oct.19.11-01.16.32PM

Ryan Stroman: Okay. Mine isn’t gay. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.16.47PM

Me: Why is that. 0 mods. Bald tires. 14″ rims, rust Sent: Oct.19.11-01.18.23PM

Me: Ha Sent: Oct.19.11-01.18.39PM

Ryan Stroman: 15s. New tires today. Short ram intake. Spring time new exhaust headers back. Cat delete. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.18.54PM

Ryan Stroman: Then… Possibly turbo? Sent: Oct.19.11-01.19.12PM

Ryan Stroman: How much you think some decent looking 17s would run me? Sent: Oct.19.11-01.19.30PM

Me: Its not ram air lol Sent: Oct.19.11-01.19.57PM

Me: $500+ Sent: Oct.19.11-01.20.46PM

Ryan Stroman: Short ram. Not induction. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.24.22PM

Ryan Stroman: It’s not a true cold air intake and it’s not ram air. Just a short ram intake. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.25.55PM

Me: Nothing ram about it. Its called an aftermatket air filter. Its in the stock air box.. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.29.11PM

Ryan Stroman: … Dude I put a new intake on. The K&N filter an stock air box is in my trunk. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.29.41PM

Me: Oh so you got a CAI Sent: Oct.19.11-01.31.15PM

Ryan Stroman: No…. Cold air is different. This is simply a short ram intake system. The tube and cone filter. Cold air is forced induction. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.34.19PM

Me: LOL http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_air_intake Sent: Oct.19.11-01.36.12PM

Ryan Stroman: No more arguments about it. Can you help me build a box around the filter to keep the hot air away? And what material would be best for doing such a thing? Sent: Oct.19.11-01.36.39PM

Me: If you have a box, you need a pipe going into bumper to ram air into when driving. Hence, ram air intake. Aluminum insulated is good Sent: Oct.19.11-01.39.15PM

Ryan Stroman: Wikipedia is fill of morons. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.39.17PM

Ryan Stroman: Well there is the stock air dam going from below my passenger side fog assembly and routed up to right near the filter opening. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.40.01PM

Me: Perfecto Sent: Oct.19.11-01.41.11PM

Ryan Stroman: And the difference between short ram and cold air is that cold air gets rid of all stock components up to the intake manifold. Short ram utilizes parts o Sent: Oct.19.11-01.42.04PM

Ryan Stroman: f the stock air system including the MAF sensor and what not. Or so I’ve read. Sent: Oct.19.11-01.42.05PM

Ryan Stroman: Insulted aluminum… Like how? What to use to insulate it? Sent: Oct.19.11-01.42.29PM

Me: Insulation fibers wrapped with aluminized foil Sent: Oct.19.11-01.43.55PM

Ryan Stroman: Unless you boosted that Probe last weekend. =P Sent: Oct.19.11-01.55.11PM

Ryan Stroman: No more arguments. Would you help me build a box surround for the intake? Sent: Oct.19.11-01.55.41PM

Ryan Stroman: And you said you replaced your battery terminals and leads, how did you do that? Sent: Oct.19.11-01.59.05PM

Me: I might run nos tell it blows then get a klze v6 and they have Turbo kits for those Sent: Oct.19.11-02.02.27PM
