It's the open pod that make you low end suffer, but brings you good mid-high range. So it's a sacrifice for another. For CAI, it's meant to improve low end. So if you want to maintain your low end, CAI is the way to go..

I installed the CAI previously and it cost $110. Plus the aftermarket filter, it cost nearly $200. But that's what I paid for. You may get it cheaper but do make sure you know the right place to install the hose funnel. The purpose is to locate it low to draw cold air but too low and when you encounter flash flood, you are going to be in trouble.

Yes, you can use the fog lamp area to install your air funnel. The risk is there, but many people do it. My mscp alone has 3 cars who did it this way.

RISK + Turbo Charger or Super charger is the way to go

A closed pod system works but having an enclosure around an open pod. The enclosure is fitted with a hose and it's usually installed in the same way as the CAI systems. To summarize, the closed pod intake has an open pod enclosed in a casing, with the same CAI hose.
For CAI, it is replacing the stock intake pipe with the CAI hose. The airbox remains the same.
For closed pod intake, it usually excels in low end acceleration. (I've used a closed pod previously). However, it exhibits more noise than the standard airbox, but lesser noise at higher rpms compared to open pod.
Generally, I feel that closed pod has better performance than standard airbox, but the airbox preserves the cabin noise level. Do note that this is my personal opinion. It is not to say closed pod is definitely better than air box. No setup is perfect. Sure got pros and cons. The thing is to know its characteristics and select them accordingly.

Oh ya, when I purchased the simota carbon charger back then, it comes without a hose. Of course you can buy the hose and install it but there will be additional cost. Just for your info.
Anyway, do wait for the others to put their inputs. Here got many many people mod here and there. So they can give you some important info.

1. Open Pod is type of air filter 2. CAI = Cold air intake
They are 2 different thing. Both Closed pod & Open pod can make CAI or HAI(Hot air intake).
Long intake, Lower volume of air travelling at faster speed. Short intake, Higher volume of air travelling at slower speed. Ram air effect, using vehicle speed (>100kph) to create force induction to increase air volume. Rough intake pipe, slows down air speed, create uneven airflow.

If looking for ideal setup must spend $$$. Alternatively, u can trylike mk1 said... try till u find e setup u like which may take some time. Fastet way is spend a bit of $$$.

Ideally, TS should get the first purchase right. let's put it at $200. If the first purchase isn't to his liking, it's a mistake because got to dekit, and spend another $200 for something else. If still not to his liking, probably got to make do with it coz if spend another $200 for a third intake, that means $600! Even if the first 2 setup is sold at half the price, still it's $400. I also go through this phase. CAI w/ 3 aftermarket filters, open pod w/ ISC filter, then half RISK.

If u looking e best possible intake, not many can give u a proper review unless they have tried it all. One such person is bro picanyeo. Dun think any others have tried as many as him.
Still, it depends on wad u wan. Cos u won't know till u try. Wat is good for u may not be e same for others. Get a headstart by installing somethings first. Jus my 2cts.

Maybe I start with cold air intake first. Gonna go research for price.

Don't mind if you can update us when you made your decision? I'm curious to know what you have chosen. So you gonna start with CAI right? Maybe can share which filter you choose, where you place your air funnel etc when you are done. Most importantly, how you feel after installation.

Guys, if you going for high-end branded intake which guarantee you power, you may refer to below for ref; www.google.com.sg/search?hl=en&gs_rn=12&gs_ri=psy-ab&cp=12&gs_id=10&xhr=t&q=pvc+air+intake&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46471029,d.bmk&biw=1350&bih=689&wrapid=tljp1368617068818022&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=dXCTUYWmG5HPrQfIqYCwBw If PVC can make intake pipe, why spend more? A reasonable sized K&N + a simple set of piping will do. Others you are pay are cutting tools n lots of time measuring & cutting & mounting them into place.
