There are a lot of other threads like this about if a SR is ok for people out in that area or rainy areas.SR= good sound, HP increase.... easy install.CAI= better cooler airflow, HP increase, more difficult.I have a CAI on my base 05. it was a pain and i need to modify it a lil, ie: buy radiator hose for intake inlet to engine inlet. and i had to chop off about 3" from the end of the intake to make fit above the fog light.SR youd probably have to still get a longer hose to fit the inlets. but just remove the stock box and slap that bad boy in there. put the MAF sensor back in and run it for a lil bit to let the ecu recognize the more airflow, then enjoy.Everyone else might throw in there $0.02 too!

I went for the SR and would do it again if had to.
