I have yet to have a problem with the CAI, and have removed it multiple times to check the inside of the tube for debris, grit, dirt, or water spots. I've never found any.

Maybe you don't like the aesthetics, and there's nothing anyone can do about that. If you're interested in performance, the NeedsWings CAI WILL drop .5 seconds off your quarter mile times. That has been proven by me and many others.

Hope this helps.
Didn't intend to get into a slingin' contest, as I said in the original post
I'm sure the efficiency is not to be controverted, and I don't race, and I have a NA Ltd coupe. I enjoy my car, and an extra poof here and there is not objectionable, but if I wanted to race I would trade my Clone for an SRT-4. Having said that, and having lived in Michigan (Clinton Twsp) for 9 years, and having raced at Milan when Connie K was driving a *****'s, I do know a little about the scene and the weather. The following is a quote from the NeedsWings ad, "Details

Designed and built in "Motor City" Detroit Michigan, we used the finest materials for creating this world class part. Our SRT6 Crossfire Cold Air Intake system replaces the factory intake system completely. We use 6061 Mandrel bent 3" Aluminum tubing along with a high quality 4-ply silicone coupler and a K&N cone filter that can flow up to 900cfm mounted just behind the grill. This system has picked up tremendous gains on the srt6 platform (check before/after dyno sheet below). As an added benefit the supercharger "whine" is very apparent now at wide open throttle yet still quiet when daily driving.

Install should take about one hour (most of that will be removing the factory components).

The Passenger side horn and the power steering cooling line need to be relocated with our supplied brackets.

A valve cover breather hose is also included to be routed into our intake (same setup as factory).

This product carries our three year warranty against manufacturer defects and is sold for off road use only." This was my question, and guess it's a CYA Statement. My engine drowns, it's my fault....
