Forced induction = Turbo which they don't have for our cars, allthough they are working on a supercharger =)

SRI= Short Ram Intake
they help give you a little more power out of your car, and sometimes better mpg?

CAI snakes down behind the fog light housing, SRI puts the filter right behind the battery

You are correct sir. Cold air is longer because it tries to find cold air instead of warmer engine air.

Short ram is much shorter but better if you live in areas where it rains a lot.

Short rams also sound a lot more aggressive than a cold just because the filter is in the engine bay and not hidden behind the bumper. Cai do sound nice but sri will be louder!!

It won't give you better mpg than stock. It draws in more air, so the computer compensates by adding in more fuel, so the mileage will go down with one.
