I made decent gains on a modified car, but it was including pulleys. 16whp combined gains, I would guesstimate 8-10whp above 6500rpm came from the intakes. The intakes don't neck down at the MAF to "trick" the MAF readings, it stays the same diameter. I don't feel the intake location is a problem. It does not receive direct airflow, but it is not a sealed space, and I have not sucked up any water, even after washes or torrential rains. They come in polished or powder coated gunmetal for the same price and can usually be found for at least $100 cheaper than the G3's.

In my opinion, there is enough evidence to say that the difference after tuning between CAI's is minimal. Lastly, because the ETI modules are still functioning after tuning, the ECU is not going to try and revert what tuning changes were made to the AFR's. I don't know how much of an issue, if at all, but some cars do this on their own.
I have the same without tune and same results. I am completely happy with aem. I only had one instance of moisture right after I installed the. Since then nothing. I didn't get a CEL until I put my catback with test pipes. Even then it was an air fuel mix error and it actually regulated the idle so I didn't clear it the second time it came on. I would log it to see but the CEL isn't always a bad thing. I think it's smart to include a self regulating module that adjusts on its own and helps the car run right. That's why I went wit aem...that and powder coat out of the box.
