FWI vs. CAI

Which do you all recommend, standard CAI vs. FWI, and what if any, noticable difference in performance/sound is there betteween them? Also what company/maker? From what I have seen most seem to be running the Intense FWI...

the FWI is the better choice for the 00+ crowd, because of the shielding that it offers

Tried both FWI is better for me. It gets cooler air. It is a little louder. I had the Thrasher CAI didn't seem to fit real well.

I just bought the FWI kit and installed it a few weeks ago and I was very pleased. I don't think the CAI is a very accurate name for it. This is just my opinion. I know the FWI kit isn't as shiny as the CAI kit...but I'd choose the FWI every time. I definately have enjoyed mine.
