Default Best Cool Air Intake?

I'm looking into getting a Cool Air Intake for Christmas. I want one that will not void my warranty and that gives good results? I'm stuck in between this and the Corsa dual Catback exhaust. Any suggestions?

Get a k&n drop in filter and put the extra money towards an exhaust? Or something else that wont be so prone to sucking in water

X2!! I love my Airaid, don't expect any crazy acceleration with the addition to this but it gives off a nice tone!! And I may have gained 1.5 MPGs...and it looks good under the hood
All in all I'm happy with mine! Just my

Dropped in KnN filter and called it a day! no water issues, had full one on my last truck...besides change in noise for sucking air because its not enclosed i didnt see to much that changed..unless you have a larger tube and throttle body, it just gets choked at the same point as before..dont know

But then again others stand behind theirs until death, so i guess its up to what you want or believe....

Main thing is make it what you want...

I too love my Air Raid. Quality materials and almost 100% sealed off from the engine. And... a great sound when you jump it. BTW, I'm looking at the Corsa stainless cat back also but keep seeing posts on how useless a performance exhaust is on the 3.8.

I'm looking to get one also. I'm in Oregon right now and driving to Portland in the morning. Is there any place in Portland that would have it in stock. I have been calling around and it sounds like everyone has to order them.
