Whats the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake?

ive heard of cold air intakes, short ram intakes, and complete cold air intakes(which i read can change from cold air to short ram) anyway what are the differences major and minor if u no any thanks alot

Both the short ram intake and the cold air intake are aftermarket products that replaces the OEM air intake system. They are less restrictive than the OEM making for more power compared to OEM.
A short ram intake is a short tube with a filter element in the end that basically replaces the OEM air intake. The filter element sits in the engine bay therefore takes in hotter air from the engine bay compared to the CAI. Horsepower gains are smaller but response is more concentrated on the low end torque. Turbocharged cars aren't affected that much in this case since the hot air is cooled off in the intercooler system. The CAI is longer than the SRI. The filter usually sits outside the engine bay or boxed in right behind the headlight. The system takes in cooler air from the outside. Power gains are concentrated in the mid-high rpm range. The CAI is usually preferred in racing since cold air is forced into the engine more efficiently when the car is in motion. The downside of the CAI though, since it is usually located dead smack in front, right behind the front bumpers or somewhere close to the wheel wells, they are more likely to take in water when driving through flooded areas. The filters are more likely to be damaged since they are more exposed to the elements.
