S.R.I- some hp, no hydrolock possible, about 150
C.A.I- more hp then sri and stock, hydrolock if filter is fully submerged.. get a bypass valve, about 200+

Rep Power: 0 as for hydrolock, the intake filter has to be submerged in water for this to happen.
i have a cai and i live in california and hadn't had any problems during rain storms, just stay away from big puddles
i also had an injen short ram intake, nice to look at under the hood but i love the sound of cold air intake at WOT, i can't get enough of it.
just replace the stock intake, its really simple and you'll enjoy the sound!

I had an SRI, got LESS power driving below 4k rpm. Now my stock intake is back on and I'm happy with it. I think intakes don't do much for our cars in general. Stay stock, or buy a K&N OEM filter for better airflow. Oh and my SRI was loud!
