* i see SRI's as an investment. the filters are washable and it will pay for itself over time.

cold air intake:
- filter element is relocated outside of the engine compartment grabbing the coolest air possible, the chance of sucking water into the intake and locking up your engine is a sure bet if you live in a wet climate.

- more power, more risk, more money

* i see CAI's as true power producers. if you live in an area like seattle, florida, chicago, or region prone to heavy rainfall, forget it. it has more potential to do damage than produce gains.
