I thought I'd pull the discussion about intakes out of Redturbo's build thread. Basically, these will add 5-10hp and increase throttle response. Both give a similar result but the CAI pulls colder air in through a longer pipe and the SRI will draw slightly warmer air but through a shorter pipe. So the pros and cons even out and both are very similar. CAI is supposed to be better for cars without a tune but the SRI is slightly better with a tune. With a CAI you also run the risk of hyrdrolocking your engine because you're drawing air from closer to the road. But this is really only a concern for those who live in areas prone to heavy rain and flooding.
If you test-fit an intake, please add your findings here. Redturbo has test-fitted Turbosocks' SRI which fits but he removed it because it doesn't allow recircualting. I'm guessing the K&N won't fit and will need to be customised for the different engine bay.
