this is my idea...anyone please, correct me if I'm wrong

SRI--bad because it sucks in hot air, performs as well if not worse than stock airbox, adds sound.

CAI--brings in cold air, adds performance, adds sound, but, since it goes down to the wheel well, if it is raining or you hit a big enough puddle, it will suck water in, thus resulting in damage to your engine. This might not be accurate, so please, someone correct me if I am wrong, because this is what holds me back from purchasing an intake.
