What hasn't been mentioned here (and has been discussed to death on FJ at the least) is that the CAI is well-protected by the splashguard on the 05+ Foci. Guys run them year-round in the continental US, and a lot of states get a LOT more rainfall than we do here.
Again, I had a SRI and while the engine felt a little more responsive... it wasn't mind-blowing. The CAIs available for the Duratec are the single-best non-tuning mod you can do. Period. If you want more gains, get cams, tune with an X-Cal2 or just go F/I. Otherwise, a CAI and a good exhaust is a great way to get a minimum 10WHP out of the Duratec 2.0.
Given what CAIs cost and what SRIs cost (both new, of course)... I won't buy a new SRI.
