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.
