hense why i tell people just to make a short ram when they are n/a or lightly modded. get it kinda near the fender and drop the temps a few degrees for fun. you dont need the flow characteristics with those setups.

home depot intake ftw!
If you re-read what I said I NEVER said that it took away horsepower. Like Bio stated it actually increases horsepower slightly over a stock airbox. I said that I'm going with a short ram air because of the benefits of increased gas mileage. A couple extra hp is great but that's not what I'm concerned about.Quote:

i live in wisconsin, mine had just as bad as conditions as you had. it was fine, it's weatherproof.
im pretty sure theres a nice little oring in there to keep water out
My PCM is just laying there, and I had to drive through over 2 1/2ft of water when the hurricane came in, Im sure it got submerged. But almost 3 years later and still pullin.
just zip tie the thing in there and its good to go its designed to get wet
that looks good as F***! any pros and cons from it?Quote:

No, not really.Quote:

Get a high flowing panel element filter.
Replace the corrugated tubing between the airbox and the filter.
That's it.
So lose my cone filter?
If you already have a cone intake set up, just keep it.
I made my FWI for the cost of a low profile Spectre cone filter, plus a coupler, a roof baffle, and some PVC which I painted black, and can be found at home Depot. Took about an 1:30 to install because I'm a perfectionist. Has a nice roar at WOT and gave me a bit more throttle response/mpg.
Just take off your wheel well/splash guard and seal it up before you do it, it barely gets water in it stock. I live in PA, I understand deep puddles :P
