The one coming out from Hiboost will work with the INJEN. Why would you want hot engine air to be your air source?(SRI) With or with out an FMIC, a CAI is the best way to go, in my opinion. My INJEN works fantastic in combination with all of my other modifications. Especially on the top end! WHOOSH-NOT HOT AIR!
Here's an interesting excerpt on the matter:
"Taking the step of removing your factory air intake system has an excellent bang for the buck ratio and as a result is often the first modification enthusiasts do to their new projects. Your new intake will allow colder air in larger amounts into your engine. For reference think of drinking soda with a stir straw vs. a regular straw, larger diameter equals more flow. Depending on your budget there are 2 routes you can take; Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake.
A Short Ram Intake which is often referred to as a warm air intake, positions the filter still inside the engine bay, but at a point as far away as room allows.. Although this Intake setup still takes in hot air, a short ram intake has less restrictions and uses a higher flowing filter allowing air to flow much more freely into your engine. The result? Depending on what you buy, about a 4-8 peak hp gain depending on car and other modifications. It may not sound like much but take into account that you will be gaining power from 2000 rpm until redline, meaning your car will be quicker everywhere in the powerband.
A cold air intake (aka CAI) typically has a longer pipe and its filter is positioned low in the engine bay, close to the ground where it can suck in the rushing air that has not been heated by underhood operating temps. Cold air intakes provide significantly larger gains then a short ram, on some applications gains of up to 15 peak hp have been recorded although this wont be the case for every car out there. "

Now, I have about half of the piping of a CAI, and am getting colder air, and am not getting the hotter engine air associated with a short SRI. I really wish DG motorsports would have made a version of this for the MSP so I didn't have to go through all of this (scratched up the polished pipes a bit, really dinged my filter trying to get this measured and figured out), but all is done and I think I have an intake that is better than the CAI or SRI.
