Yes. Adding a cold air intake usually results in a more aggressive intake sound during acceleration.
Think carefully about the make and model of your vehicle and your desired performance gains, efficiency improvements, and so on. Consider price vs. Quality and longevity of performance intake systems. Researching and comparing products from reputable manufacturers like IE can ensure compatibility and ultimately, satisfaction with your choice.
Yes, the main difference is in where each air filter is located relative to the engine bay. Performance cold air intake filters are usually outside of the engine compartment to draw in cooler air (this is why if you have a cold air intake you should avoid driving through puddles!). Short ram intakes, on the other hand, have their filter inside the engine bay, making installation easier but often drawing in warmer air compared to cool air intakes.
