3. Higher possibility of water blow at havey rain with slopes (the orig-box uses gravity/capacity to get rid of)
4. Only sound reasons... opening the VVEL 
5. The plus margins i reviewed are not amazing for the price
excuse my bad english  |
1. No... the CAI's don't use the "acordian" hoses (tubes). Less restriction... better air flow.
2. The long intakes are better because they draw air from further away from the heat of the engine... thus cooler.
3. Possible, but if you think about the route the water would have to travel (for the long tube kits, that is)...highly unlikely. But, if you like driving "almost" under water.... Injen makes a by-pass unit.
4. YES!! If there's one thing a CAI does on this car... it's letting the engine "speak" louder. (Sounds soooo sweet!!)
5. HP gains are minimal. If you get more than 10whp... I think that's "bovine scatology" your push'n!
