 Well CAI is just an abreviation for "Cold air intake" so you could have bot and Injen and a CAI. Lol. so your intake would be a cold air intake made by Injen. It is said that Cold air intakes free up more power than short ram intakes do. The difference between those 2 is that the cold air intake is longer and sits further away from the engine heat and usually near the front bumper and it gets fresh air. The short ram is nearly in the same position as your stock air box but it does not have a box around your filter so it can breath a bit easier. I went with a short ram just because there is a possibility that you might drive through a deep puddle and not realize it and then get water sucked up into your intake.

 Whoa you said hella and you're not in CA. Anyways...

A SRI = short ram intake, meaning it draw air from the engine bay (or very close to)
A CAI = cold air intake, which draw air lower, or away from, the engine bay. The colder the air, the denser the air flow, giving added power. (Problem with this is, people are scared because water can enter, hydrolocking the vehicle)

But an intake for our auto tC's don't really do much except make a cool air sipping sound. Injen is the "best" intake people can suggest (but again, differences in brands are very minor). Oh, and just to let you know, Intakes, headers, and exhaust don't make hp, they free up hp. I hope this information is what you were looking for.

 ya it really was bro. thanks alot. ive always had a big thing with cars but never really got into it until i got my first car finally. happened to be a scion tc which i think was not a bad choice at all. im putting in a automatic turbo kit in a couple of months but getting a intake for now. i have a TRD exhaust system that was installed and i got all that for free at the dealership. what else can i do to an auto tc?

 You can customize your interior in a lot of ways. paint the waterfall, door handle trim, and all that jazz.
You can change the seat and headliner fabric or color (suede, leather, etc).
New stereo, speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers for audio.
You can change the lighting to LEDs, or add various LEDs inside the cupholder, air vents, under the seats... the list goes on.
