There's an article in the February 2009 issue (the latest issue, why so far ahead, I don't know..) of Sport Compact Car about just this. They compare the CAI to the Ram Air to see which is more worth the money...IF performance over looks is important.

This is mine. Bought it from Gary (kargoboy) a few months ago. Looks great, no CELs, great sound at WOT, barely noticeable when driving normally. Highly recommended.
