Thinner metal will not keep things as insulated, yes.
The sound from the thin metal is also very different.
I don't have any kind of CAI...I spent my money on a Frankencar and a popcharger (open filter in the engine bay).
CAI = low end power (Maximas already have plenty of low end power)
Stock = mid power
WAI (popcharger) = High end power.
It's really your choice...a guy on Maxima.org, DaveB, tested at the track with 3 different intakes and there really isn't a difference in the et and mph between any of the intakes, aside from the stock box.
