Ummm... The only problem is that SRIs will lose power in traffic style settings. Since they draw air from the engine bay, if you're moving very slowly or not at all, you engine will suck up a lot of hot air. On the other hand, while they're on the move, they will give you a small boost in power, but more importantly, increased throttle response. SRIs also generate more peak power than CAIs, but don't have as much midrange torque.

In my opinion, SRIs are more practical. Not only that, there is nil chance of hydrolock, and if you do hydrolock a SRI, that would be the least of your troubles

And about the Iceman. They're one of the best intakes on the market, but you don't hear kids bragging about them because they're very expensive and not flashy at all. Besides that though, they're great CAIs with very good throttle response, an engine replacement guarantee against hydrolock, and generate a reasonable amount of power. If I had more money, I'd have that instead of the AEM.

The only thing I don't like about the Icemans is that they use foam filter elements, and I've always been a fan of oiled cotton.
