Axialflow Engineering Short Shifter-GTA
Has Anyone in the GTA install a Axialflow Shifter, just trying to get a feel before I order.
Looks like a great product/my first mod. Would like to see one in action. Hear there a noise issue? Also looking at the Mazdaspeed CAI.

i love my short shifter. it's not loud. it gives you some feedback. i really don't know what people are talking about when they say these products are too loud. even the cai isn't loud except under wot.
maybe the first few short shifters didn't have a sound dampener half way up? i dunno.
the ms/aem cai is nice. the revi costs too much. i'm not sure about pwr. people rave about them, but i think they look funny. never heard one in person.

From when I ordered the AFE I was told it is an extra $20us to ship to canada (in case you don't know by now).
RXeckless - on a side note, I was offered to trade my used PRM intake for a brand new MS CAI and no way in HELL would I ever do it!! Live and learn!! But if you want it go for it!!

well.. techincally any SRI that is positioned close to the air inlet and is covered (K&N / PRM) can be converted into a CAI with the application of the RB duct and some tape 
Win Rev lol. But what is the definition of CAI?? An intake taking cold air/ambient air into the engine right?? PRM does it but I have heard/read K&N does not.

A CAI is cold-air, implying that the air is outside the engine bay. Technically if the ambient air is at the same temperature as the engine bay, then it would be a moot point. But that is an impossible scenario unless you're driving in Hell 
.
Therefore, a COLD-AIR-INTAKE must be one that draws air from outside the engine bay. That is exactly what the MS CAI and the Revi + duct does.
The PRM's entrance point is still located inside the engine bay, thus it can't be called a CAI.
I think the stock-intake actually qualifies to be a HALF cold-air intake, because the air entry points are in the front bumper piece. The difference is that whereas the MS CAI's entry point is completely exposed, the stock-intake is not.

I love the MS CAI, and I think it's a great product. Objectively speaking, I would not recommend it if the car is to be winter driven in climates where freezing rain/wet snow is likely to occur. In all other cases, it is excellent.
My proof is first hand experience in running two Canadian Winters.

LOL...there are a few threads/posts on as to why we have had problems up here and one I had was on a nice fall day after a car wash. Just isn't worth the worry to me IMO. Remember this is IMO and the experience I have had along with some other, i.e. footman.
Case in point...PRM did testing and proved that is sucks ambient air, it is located right in front of the intake air outlet (whatever that hole is called) and having air forced into its filter. Therefore little to NO engine warmer air is being drawn into the intake. So with your explanation about CAIs this should be considered a COLD-AIR-INTAKE right?!?!? It READS outside air temp at the MAF which = CAI by your description above. IF the temp readings are above ambient air then YES it would NOT be a cold air because it is sucking in engine bay air.
