Question 1: What intake should I buy?

Answer: There are alot of company's with intakes on the market for our cars. The list go's like this: Injen, AEM, Fujita, K&N and Weapon R. It seems like the Injen CAI is the most popular with the Fujita short ram bringing up second. The AEM initially had alot of problems with throwing a CEL but they seem to have fixed the issue.

Question 2: Will an intake void my warranty?

Answer: As with all aftermarket prooducts, if the dealer can prove that the problem was a direct result of the modification, then your warranty is void. Pretty much the only time an intake will void your warranty is if you hydrolock the motor (covered below). If you have any doubts on this, google the "Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act".

Question 3: Will a CAI cause me to hydrolock my motor?

Answer: There is always a possibility of hydrolock when it comes to Cold Air Induction. In order for this to happen you would have to drive through a pretty deep puddle and completely submerge the intake filter. At that point the CAI will act like a straw.

Question 4: Does a short ram suffer from heat soak?

Answer: Yes. When dealing with a short ram there is going to be some sort of heat soak, although I think this will be debated until the end of time.

That's all I have for now. Feel free to chime in and I will edit the thread accordingly.
