Water or puddle getting into it. Etc. I do live in California however.. so maybe I shouldn't worry about water getting into my intake if I decide to go with the CAI lol

For this car, you wont notice a change on a CAI... I havent from the TRD and K&N filter anyways. Drop in filter is best bet. If in CA, have it (CAI) covered in a box or else you can get ticket.
In short, CAI=colder air into engine, might be louder than stock and may help mpg.. read on forums by 2-3.
Drop in=cleaner air=better for engine overall. Cleaner combustion chamber?
BTW, El Nino might come in... depending where you live...might get floods

Real world numbers are probably 6-8hp from TRD exhaust and intake.
