I'm thinking about switching from my stock intake to a short ai intake, but I've heard so many bad things about short air intakes (SAI). So is there really any benefit to having a SAI as apposed to a stock intake?

A short air intake is not always better. A stock intake is designed mostly for suppressing noise. The main goal should be to improve air flow and suck in cold air. Not all intakes are designed very well.

u will get some additional zip but probably wont notice it. if u did some other mods u might get 5 more hp. as the other guy said, it can be noisier.

its gonna be louder...but a cold air intake is better...you'll get cold air from near the ground and make a better hp gain then short ram

intake is not measured by the look or the brand.. but the quality of the filter-element and heat sheild properties..remember engine's need optimum nice clean cool air..if u familiar with race engines (circuit,rally) you will noticed that ALL race car got humongus big air-box made from carbon fiber..and were using filter-element.. not the open-pod type.. thats why all racing car have to relocated the battery at the rear boot..

check this out bro ull get more hp out ur car with the stock airbox and a highflow filter like k&N or something like that dont waste the funds on a polished pipe of pipe with a cone because u are hurting performance espiaclly if thats all ur planing to do
