Gone from open air filter to new air intake

Today I removed the Genuinesaab.com high-flow, open air intake. While the sound is pretty awesome I was starting to wish for a quieter car for my daily driving. I also had this fear of deep puddles with it installed. This wasn't completely rational since the intake was ~13" off the ground in front of the wheel.
Anyway, the new style air intake is installed. It seems to have the same throttle response as the open intake, i.e. somewhat crisper than the stock 2001 setup. The new style air intake is 2x the size that came on the 2001. I ordered it by telling the dealer I had a 2006 9-5 and it was $15.
So, lessons learned: turbos sound awesome and I will next time save the loud sounds for a project car. Oh, and I observed my exhaust system is heavily corroded so maybe a stainless one is in the future for 2008.
