Default SRI or CAI?

Just about to buy an intake system and i wanted to know from actual owners of each, the pros and cons and overall satisfaction with either system!

Just buy an Injen CAI (if you have an SI).

Basically, it boils down to this.

SRI - Mean sound, no hydro-lock

CAI - Mean sound, some whp gain (~6-8?), risk of hydro-locking if you drive it through a deep puddle and rev the engine up.

Over all, the CAI > SRI unless you drive in a very wet climate where you will be consistently driving through puddles (and some-what deep ones at that)
