Because it works and pulls cool air instead of a shortflow that pulls hot air? I'm confused. I will admit that I occasionally have reservations about my Prodrive on the Fozz (which is made by AEM) just like my Injen on the STI - but that's purely because it's a low-mount passenger side intake and I worry that my love of splashing through puddles in every other car I own will catch me out in a painful manner if I forget and go nuts in heavy rain - but as long as you avoid pools of standing water (which you should be doing anyways in a lowered car) I don't get why you'd run a SF intake over the stock airbox, and definitely not over a properly engineered CAI.

Her'es jQQ in a nutshell:
asks for advice. disregards all of it. makes silly decisions based on 5 billion different (mostly wrong) opinions of some armchair experts on the interwebz. results mediocre. complains.
ILU man but you know this is true
PS: the aem is way better in design and results (from my personal experience tuning dozens of each) than the sf. It would take for you to drive through a lake or something seriously stupid to actually hydrolock the car with the aem. Water would have to be up to mid-bumper

Yeah, I was an Injen fan because they were the best option early on for the GD's that didn't eff with the stock MAF in an unpredictable manner - but the Prodrive/AEM is lightyears better in fitment, sounds nice (because, lets be honest, that's still a factor), and, like you said, sits at a reasonable height in the fenderwell - offroading or fording flooded roads is the only real risk.
