i'm assuming that the RAI on SRAI stands for "ram air intake", but what is the S there for?

It has a tube that goes down to the bottom of the bumper like a CAI but, it functions like a normal air box with a hole cut into it for this extention tube, the tube is not connected to the bottom of the box, taking away the ability for it to pull up water, like trying to suck a drink through a straw with a crack in it. Consequently, even though cooler air is blown up this tube, the box still has the ability to pull a portion of it's air from the hot engine bay. Look on Comptec's site, they have dyno numbers and they suck. don't waste your money. I had a customer with an S2K that was set on this (Ice Box), the AEM got him 5 times more power for much less money.
