Why in the name of zeus's butthole would you want your intake over the hottest part of the engine? I know once you are moving there are benefits to the ram air, but once you stop????
Kind of along the same principle as replacing the tmic with a fmic to avoid heat soak.
And, while I am sure they are resolved now, the original design of the cs had an incorrect maf housing.
The CPE fmic is simply one of the best engineered and built parts of any of the parts available for this motor.

Ok, I see what you mean. Which one has the bigger core? I know cp-e has great products. I know I won't go wrong going with it, I'm just trying to make sure if I'm spending $1200 I'm going to get the best out there.

Don't be a size *****. Bigger isn't always better. Depending on how much air you're moving, you only need a certain amount of cooling capacity. Once you reach the point of being big enough, anything more does not yield better cooling, and just induces unnecessary lag time. The principle is called the rule of diminishing returns.

What are you basing your criteria on?
If it is cost, then you are better off building an ebay intercooler. It's pretty easy and there are a few how-to's floating around on the various forums.
It will get you 80% of the way there for a third of the money.
If you are basing it on research and development (have you read Jordan's white paper on the cpe), performance, build quality and fitment...then there is only one choice.
It seems your questions have all been addressed...if ya wanna play, ya gotta pay..lol.
Good luck.
