A better thread title would help you get more info, instead of just 2011 mustang v6....

Some about halfway down the page here: http://www.americanmuscle.com/2010-m....html#shop-by3

Also check the v6 mods section of the forums.

The short ram sits next to the engine unlike the cold air which goes kinda down. So the short ram can't get water in it.

The cold air intake just goes to the corner of the engine bay. It does not go down into the fender and is not susceptible to water getting into it. Look at the photos of them installed and you will see where they sit, behind the drivers headlight.

You have been mis-informed.

And there is no "Short Ram" intake made for the 2011+ cars so nobody can help you find one.

My current personal favorite CAI is the Airaid, low cost and designed pretty well with a very good airbox.

"short ram" intakes are usually cheap on eBay with a crappy air filter and do more harm than good. Additionally, those that sit right next to the engine actually are worse performing due to head soak from the engine bay. You'd be better off staying with the stock intake before going short ram. Most CAI's are separated by a heat shield from engine heat, so that a true cold air charge is used. They also come with a quality filter when you buy a known brand.

And you heard wrong about water. Only intakes inside the fender are more susceptible to water intake, and even then, that is rare unless you stop with the nose of the car in water. None of the v6 intakes use the inside the fender design.

Sounds like a ricer gave you some poor, uninformed advice.

Yup BBK is fine. American Muscle doesn't really sell poorly designed parts.

There is no single best. It depends on what you want to accomplish.

Take some time to browse through the v6 mods section and research there. Tons of info from actual real world users.

Read the descriptions for each intake on the various parts websites. They will tell you if you need a tune or not. Some do and some don't.

An intake by itself without a Tune is usually far less effective. Also on SOME applications can cause the car to run Lean. A tune designed for a specific intake wil give better results.

Best current design CAI and no tune is required, been many installed and all have been praised by the car owners.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/airaid...ir-2011v6.html

The only one for the 2011 V6 that is a tune required CAI is the Steeda and from what I've seen they are not making much more power than anyone else.
