Rep Power: 331 <--injen CAI for 2 years now. no bypass, no problems. Dont drive through water and if you do, dont hit the gas. I guess that makes me a raging hydrolocking idiot.

Rep Power: 264 i think u can still hydrolock a sri but it's real real unlikely, cai is vulnerable to hydrolocking ESPECIALLY if there is no bypass, but there is still a chance with the bypass valve. i think that's right, correct me if i'm wrong.

In order to hydrolock your car with SRI, you need to drive thru a puddle that's as deep as the grill of the car.

Rep Power: 331 SRI and CAI yield the same amount of power (none), the only the difference is the sound they produce. Id say go with the K&N FIPK.

sorry for the bad picture quality. my digital camera's lense is pretty fudged up. color balance and lighting filters are no longer features of the camera.
