For comparing results, it would have been better to do it back to back. Keeping all variables as close to the same condition as possible is important for such a comparison. Closing the hood would be good too.

That is simply not true, sorry.
Here is a simple article about the difference: As pulled from articlebase.com Short Ram Intake The typical short ram intake is designed with a few key points. First, it has to be easy to install, and typically only requires standard hand tools. Second, it has to increase horsepower while being a relatively inexpensive modification. A short ram intake is called a short ram because it literally is short. The pipe typically is only about 12 to 18 inches in length, and has an air filter on the end. Short Ram Intake: Chambered Intake Kits There are short ram intake kits such as the Weapon R Secret Weapon that offer special technology designed to improve air flow to the engine with technology and tricks that the manufacture claims can out perform a cold air intake. These intakes however are typically as expensive as a cold air intake, except you do not need an air bypass valve. The Weapon R Secret Weapon features a built in tube that increases suction and velocity so the manufacture claims increased performance gains over standard short ram intakes. This is a chambered intake kit. Another chambered intake kit that is very popular is the AEM V2 Intake. Cold Air Intake The cold air intake is designed to increase horsepower by relocating the air filter outside of the engine bay, typically putting it into the fender. Because the air filter goes into the fender, the cold air is harder to install, but as it's name implies, it allows the engine to take in cooler air, producing more horsepower. Because of the extra complexity of the cold air intake, it typically has higher cost over the compariable short ram intake. Another issue for some, is that the cold air intake could sit low, and suck up water when running over water puddles. This causes hydrolock, and destroys the motor. There are air bypass valves which fix this, but that adds about another $50 in cost to the cold air intake. |

so... im not sure if anyone knows how you would get hydrolock....
yo have to completely submerge the entire air filter.... the only way you would achieve this is if you planned on trying to float your yaris. you would be surprised how much water your engine could handle. i like the looks of the afe yes, but i would have to take the aem for the true cai! |

I have a post about my problems I've had with it. I'm not done trouble shooting it but I think that in the end I am going to have to do something drastic to get it to work like use jb weld to make sure all the seals are good. Here is a link to my post

I'm using the AFE and I've been very happy. Nice bump in power and a great sound. Its also extremely easy to clean the Pro dry S filter media.

Did you ever have to do something extra to make sure all parts are sealed? Could you post a couple pictures of your connections please?
