One potential downside of a cold air intake is that it may increase the risk of hydrolocking. This occurs when water enters the engine through the intake and can cause severe damage. Additionally, some cold air intakes may not be street-legal or may void your vehicle's warranty.

What is the difference between a short ram air intake verses a cold air intake?

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.
