Default Cold Air Intake

I want to put a cold air intake on my car. I want to know which one do you guys think is the best one for the car. Specially one that could give me an HP gain or Tourque Gain. I was considering the AEM V2. But if anyone knows of one that works better. Specially here in South Florida with all the rain and heat.
Thanks for the opinions.

Good point, but my car seems to run great....Maybe if I go mudding it will happen but I have been driving this past week while all this damn rain has been coming down and No problem yet....

Besides we all have full coverage so if anything, pay 500 deductable and BAM JDM engine..lol

How does the Short ram sound?

Short Rams have a tendancy to be affected by Heatsoak

You can also buy a K&N Drop in Filter and gut your Airbox. I did this and it works. It keeps your Filter isolated from the heat in the engine compartment but allows the filter to breathe more than non gutted

I was considering a cold air intake as well, but I'm worried about sucking up water. That's how I lost my old car (Acura RSX-S). During hurricane Kartina, my cold air sucked up water.

Craig, I just gutted mine this weekend. Not a Huge difference, but more responsive.

That's one of the main things I am worried about if I get the CAS. That's why I wanted to see some opinions before continuing.
