I think you're better off with cai and make your own heatshield otherwise you are just going to be getting the sound and a lot of hot air.

I know ppl used to talk about the weapon-r intake, I never had any experience with them though. A lot of ppl just fab their own anyway though, just do a search and you'll get plenty of info.

if you do a search in the forums i bet you can find everything you need...from having my cai done it had to be custom made due to it was a kompressor....but i have seen guys in here with a c280 making there own and putting the filter via bumper which in my eyes would be the best for you since it would be out of the engine bay...but when you do that make sure you use a AEM bypass filter to avoid any type of water getting into it

Buy a weapon-R SW intake filter and make your own custom cai
