**SRI or CAI????**

which one would you choose and why.....the reason im asking this question is because im interested in knowing the main difference between the two as far as sound and problem wise meaning

1.) would the hot air be a problem in the long run for the SRI

2.) would dirt and rocks get sucked up into the CAI


i already know about the power difference but is it really all that neccessary to get a CAI over a SRI???

yea im pretty sure the filter might stop it i was just curious to know

i know that the size of the filter head also plays a big part in how loud the intake is when you hit vtec i was told the biiger the filter the louder it would be is this true?

The icebox filter is easier to clean and its gains are the best...but it looks stock and it isn't as loud as others.

The V2 is loud and looks aftermarket...but it is more of a pain to clean than the icebox. It's hp gains rival the icebox.

No, rocks will not get sucked up into the filter of either...and the hot air is not a problem in the long run for the SRI...you gains just aren't as much.
