Injen - it includes the windshield washer bottle relocator which makes for the easiest install.

Available cheapest at: http://store.clubrsx.com

Have a look at the AEM V2. It is very easy to install. No cutting, you dont need to removed the bumper either. With most of the other CAI's cutting and bumper removal is required. The V2 gets very close to the same gains as the CAI. Even with the CAI's you don't get that much gain in HP.

The V2 is easier to install, but the CAI still produces more hp and tq....if I were getting i'd most likely get the CAI. Not to mention that the CAI is a little bit cheaper.

How much more gain do you think you would get with the CAI vs. the V2? I'm sure you would get more with the CAI, but I don't believe you are going to get 5 or more HP. Maybe one or two, so with that in mind, is it really worth spending an hour or more installing the CAI, not to mention cutting and moving shit around to accomodate the CAI? I do feel any of the intakes are better than the stock set up. What piece of crap that is? They should have taken some tips from Nissan and the 350 Z setup. The filter and intake are sitting right up front near the grill, just where it belongs.

Well, the SRI's eventually loose power vs. stock....the stock is the most consistent. As far as gains between the V2 and CAI, i've seen results ranging from 1-6 whp gain, so i really dunno how much on average. Either way both the V2 and the CAI are good intakes. The SRI is too, but in the summer.....

I agree with you CC. The V2 and CAI are both good and better than the SRI. I don't foresee a problem with my V2 when it gets hot outside. It's been close to 90 degrees here for several days and I haven't seen or had a problem with the V2. There is so much space around it, it's getting go air flow. I was hesitatant to get the V2, but after having it, I love it. It most definately made a huge difference in power.
