Hey Im planning on getting a new intake but not sure what to get. People are telling me that a SRI isnt worth it because it just sucks warm air, and people are telling me if I have a CAI I can accidently suck up water and get it in my engine.. I really dont know what to get, can people please post their opinions on what they really think is best or even better?

 

you can do a search theirs like 50 topics just like this already with answers and opinions

 

A co-worker of mine is a aircraft engine mechanic, I on the other hand am a aircraft electronics technician so we had a debate on which is better. In a nutshell, especially in a turbo car, the few degree temperature difference you get between a CAI to a SRI is nominal, and the gains from a CAI are negated by the heat generated by the turbo itself. It is pretty much based on what the MAF is reading and telling the car.

I assume in a n/a car the difference can be a little different considering there aren't any other heat generating sources in the engine bay other than the engine itself.

 

this!!
