1) Mazdaspeed CAI - Pretty good intake, bit pricey. Same as the AEM
2) WEAPON R DRAGON CAI - No.
3) AEM CAI - Good intake
4) Greddy CAI - negative
5) AEM CAI - deja vu
6) K&N CAI - glorified noise maker. some dynos show it losing power.

Racing Beat Intake.
closed airbox design FTW.

Ideally stock is the good enough. But if you want bling, the MS and AEM look nice and are actually true cold air intakes. I had the K&N and I liked the looks, but the sound was way too loud. I hear the MS and AEM sound decent. The racing beat is quiet and has an almost stock look.

Well i think you should get the MS intake if you want to keep the warranty , although i dont see how an intake would do any damage to your tail light seals lol.
