Default KN Short ram or KN drop in

I can either get a kn short ram for 62 or a kn drop in for 31. What should I go for as far as performance/price. If the short ram would make a much bigger diff I guess I would go with it. Thanks guys.

If you don't have many mods yet then the short ram won't really do you any good. just get the drop in.If you have a bigger turbo, chip, exhaust, etc.... then a cone type filter set up will be better.

You can just get a cone filter that fits over the MAF housing. The diameter was 2.75" on my 97 1.8T.

I have an apr performance chip and kyb springs. Everything else is stock. So do you think I should go short ram? It's only 62 or should I just go w/the drop in for 31? Thanks

Looks cleaner and runs the same if not faster on the box w/ a stock turbo. And thats with a paper filter
