SRI will be louder and throttle response is theoretically better. And since it doesn't extend far below, you don't have to worry about sucking up water and hydrolocking your engine.

But it will not be able to deliver cooler air from below; instead, it will suck in the hot air circulating through the engine bay. Basically, all things considered, you're getting it for the sound.

very true - it wont hurt anything, but you wont get much, if any performance gains. (though that is true with most intakes unless you have some headers to help the engine blow out also)
