If it's one that's mounted in the lower front fender well. it sucks water into the motor and seizes it up by bending the connecting rods when you hit a deep puddle in the road.
You get about the same performance by just installing a K&N filter in the stock air cleaner.
If you are going to put a high flow exhaust with headers, a radical cam, larger injectors and high pressure fuel pump, Chipped ECU etc. you might then benefit from a larger intake system and filter.

Plainly speaking, you're looking about about a 5hp gain and if you can keep your foot off the pedal, another mile or two per gallon. With that said, gains are negligible between brands and you'll see a nearly identical gain with a home built fwi.
