Default CAI vs. short ram

I am wanting to get a new intake, but Im wondering what the differences between a CAI and short ram are. Im having trouble deciding which to get.

I have saw an intake that can be converted from CAI to short ram, and short ram into CAI, anyone have one of these? Would it be a good intake to buy?

Any help explaining these would be appreciated.

CAI: better top end power, quieter/deeper tone, more prone to hydrolocking since filter is located down in bumper

SRI: snappier throttle response/better midrange power, filter located in engine bay, theoretically making it louder since the filter is closer to where you sit, no chance of hydrolock

and also +1 for using the Search feature, if you have a fairly generic question like this its probably been covered at some point, so use the Search

How much louder would you say it would be. Would it get to be really annoying?

it sounds like a cow mooing when its CAI and SRI either way its the same sound.. CAI is just farther away from the firewall/glass where u cant hear it as much cuz the filter is in front of the passenger side wheel in the bumper instead of in ur engine bay
