That's an even better point. I was actually wondering why no one has designed an intake system combining BOTH the CAI and SRI because that's technically what's in the stock system. There's an engine compartment air box plus the air box in the bumper, so you have a Y connection. Why not do that with a high flow intake? Is there a danger there or would it simply be too expensive? Figure $250 for the average CAI and about $200 for an SRI = $450-$500 for a combo system. Would it yield better results? Would it pull more from one than the other since they're both high flow or would it combine the cold CAI air with the hot SRI air to make an average LOWER (i.e. cooler) temp overall? Math geniuses, get to work!
