wheew, glad i'm not the only one that has a question about this
i'm deciding to get either injen CAI or do a ztube/stillen cold air box combo or ztube/k&n combo.. since i live in NY and due to many bad conditions of the road, i'm afraid water will get to my engine if i get the injen CAI.. i've heard that injen CAI gives the car a nice roar, but wat about the ztube/intake combos? which step should i take?

Nice roar with my pop charger...I was very happy with it. The only other one I have heard in person was the weapon-r short ram intake and it sounded awesome. It was a lot deeper sounding. You would need to find a heat shield for it though.

you could also do z-tube + remove power duct to create a larger open-aired air box to get the sound roar at a fraction of the cost

I'm also a newbie w/pop charger. It seems to me that compare to stock air box you would draw more hot air since it's open? I no the diff w/z-tube (by itself) but I'm wondering if with a CAI I would have better heat reduction without pulling in HOT air?

There is nothing wrong with the stock intake setup. I mean it is Ram Air.
