Moral of the story;
I don't think anyone has any experience with the weapon R intake on their SHO. If you (the OP) think it's something that could work well with your application, give it a try. Worst case scenario, you dump it for a different CAI or go back to stock. Hey, we've ALL spent money on a mod or two that ended up being a bust. It's just part of the game.
Live long and prosper.
