AEM is Injens step brother and they are always in a death match, so i assume they have something in the works.

Time will tell, the car is still very new

If you're buying an intake for the sound it makes, you deserve to be slapped.

many should know that its every easy to deal with at least some of the sound produced by the SRI's.

If you stop to think about it, the position of the SRI itself puts the driver right infront of the bullhorn, the SRI points in that direction. using a heatshield or lined with a rubber or silcon compound may decrease the projecting sound. I am sure it could turn the volume down on it by 25% give or take.

The CAI in theory should be alot more quiet due to the fact that the open end of the CAI is releasing sound into the wheel well area, far from the driver.

Its not the SRI fault, its just laws of physics.
