Another SRI vs. CAI thread

DaltonD · 05-10-2008, 12:35 PM

Hey guys,
I'm going to get a "real" intake here pretty soon. I'm runnin the K&N drop in, and removed resonator for now.
I was thinking I was going to go with the CAI simply because it makes more power. But then I realized that it will only be up top...
I would like to have a small gain in low, mid, and high.
What do you guys think?
Should I get a SRI, or is the CAI worth getting?

Thanks!

It rains about every other week. But I've never had to drive though huge puddles.
I'll be fine weather wise.

if your serious about making more power then get a CAI...if all you want is a loud intake then get a SRI

keep what you have now i have had a CAI and SRI and Stock is best for overall driving

powerwise, I would get the injen cai. It makes more power throughout. Driveability isn't as good as stock, but it's worth it for the extra power.

Thanks for the advice.
Why injen over AEM?

Well, let me put it to you this way. Even though I made my CAI intake.. the filter is still in the same place as all the other company's CAI's.. There is very small exposure from the underbody to the filter that water can hit. Past week, it rained about 3 days straight and I hit some pretty big puddles that actually wet the filter in an area about 1 inch x 1 inch. All I did was not go over 4K rpm and the car is still running great. I actually even got a pretty good quarter mile the other day too. 14.1.
