Best Answer

A short ram intake replaces your stock air box with an aluminum pipe (usually) with a filter on it inside of your engine bay.

A cold air is longer and puts the end of the filter as low and as frontward as possible, to get the benefits of being away from the engine bay as well as being in a position to take in all the air being forced against your car as you drive at high speeds.

The downside to the added power from the cold air design though, is that the intake is more exposed to puddles, flooding, etc. , which could lead to your engine ingesting water, possibly damaging it.
