RE: 07 Cold air intake
Looks like the factory got it pretty good to start with. Just ask someone with a CAI that pulls air from below the car how they like theirs after the have hydrolocked their engine when driving through standing water. This is a common problem for VW GTI owners. I'll live with 5 less hp knowing I will not hydrolock my engine unless I am sitting in water up to my waist.

I was pretty impressed with the stock set up as well.
CAIs can get you more HP at the higher RPMs, but often at the expense of torque down low, so you could feel less performance around town.
I don't think any intake mods are worth it...K&N filter (which I've never felt any difference with on their drop-ins) or CAIs..unless you're racing

K&N has one that cross-referenced with the Fram filter #CA8208. I'll be getting one soon for my ES.
