Question SRI VS CAI ? Which one?

I just had a question for everyone. I am in the market for a intake and I really don't have much knowledge on which way to go. What do you guys recommend ? What have you put on your car.
I have a base 3.5 tl fwd.

Well, what are you looking for in an intake system? Performance, sounds, CARB (if in CA), or looks?

SRI and CAI are different systems and produce different hp gains and sounds.

I'm pretty sure no CAI exists for the 4G TL - so your only option would be the SRI. AFAIK

Looking for better gas Mileage... Dunno If that's possible. And a decent sound.

My experience has been with the Takeda, that about all it's good for without other mods is a little better MPG and a more aggressive engine growl. The FWD claims on the Accord are +14 WHP or something absurd; it's not remotely close to that on the AWD at least (going by feel).

It's still $240 for a foot of metal pipe, a couple rubber hoses and an air filter....you might expect to pickup 2 mpg in mixed driving, based on what I've experienced....IF you keep your foot out of it.
