well, with a CAI you get 'some what' cooler air going inside the hot motor. basically, it cools the engine better than a stock intake would. an yes... there are a couple of hp gains.

AEM, CT or P2R take your pick. P2R 4" would be a good choice keep in mind you will need to get the TB spacer and can be bought as a package being CAI TB spacer and thermal gaskets.

I'd go with the P2R since you don't already have one. Other than that, Injen or Comptech. You will see ~7-10 hp and def. increase in MPG. In no way voids the warranty unless you hydrolock your engine.

Yup. Your mirror falling off is due to the aftermarket cold air intake that you installed... There is a special laser sensor that notices certain parts being removed or replaced thus making things fall off the car...

We have water cooled engines, not air cooled. And even then ...

During regular driving (even at 70-75 mph) it is at the same level as when I had the Icebox in, which from my understanding would be quieter than a traditional style CAI. If anyone would like I could record the in cabin sound.
