"Short ram" intakes, lol
 

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.

RAM AIR BITCHES!!!

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

Just to piss you off.

YO man. I has ram air on my big boy V8. Bitch what u got?

Nah dawg. That aint shit. I gots short ram.

Wigga what that be?

Cracka you should know from experience that the size of yo ram don't matter. It's the packing that does.

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.

Got a link or anything?

its called marketing dummy. sex sells

More like ramming sells.
