Better off using your stock box than a SRI in my opinion. Get a CAI and ignore the bullcrap about hydrolock problems. Just make sure you don't go ploughing through deep puddles/streams of water at full speed - be careful like you should be and you'll be fine. If you're in the middle of a flood then either don't drive or just disconnect the intake from the throttle body.

And search, of course
i've just read a thread on SRIs in the DC5S and after the second or third run on the a dyno; the people have lost around 10hp due to heatsoaking, which would pretty much bring it back to stock. In saying that i've moved towards CAI and trying decide between either Injen and AEM. They're both deliver pretty much the same amount of gains; it's just comes down to the "looks" between the two i guess (pretty ricer to think about =.=).
think about it japan are the leaders in motor sport (with honda in mind) which imo means they know what they are doing? correct? every CAI ive seen is american, a majoirty if not all japanese brands are SRI, to me i feel that honda are all about throttle responce and being able to acellerate as fast as possible due to their lack to torque.
with that in mind besides a nice crossover and abit more power, it dusnt really seem like a CAI is really worth it, well on a honda at least. I'd be sticking with the experts and the people who designed and built the cars and stick with a SRI but thats just me.
depending on ur budget and what u like the look of, id be looking into intakes with a inclosed pod that is fed from a cooler position (j's racing, gruppe M, mugen (im not sure on k series but the b series intakes were one the of the best) id just have a good look around and spend the extra money on something good that will take u and ur car fowards not backwards.
even if you get a SRI you can build a box to enclose it/block heat from it and run pipes from lower down up to the filter to feed cooler air to it

A true car enthusiast appreciates the time, effort and money put into ANY sort of car, modified in ANY sort of style, whether they may like it or not.
