    Today I installed a fwi with pvc and k&n on my 05gtp, went for a drive, later i decided to go take it apart and see if there was water in it raining today and there was. Any ideas? Is this just condensation or am I sucking water?

    Thanks

    I have never had any issues with any of the intakes I sell or have used. Tell us a little more about the placement and how you have things routed.

    Maybe it was a really big puddle? That is odd...never had that issue and mine was about a foot down in the fender for a long time.

    mine did the same thing. i dont know about the older year models but mine does not seal up completly in the fenderwell. looking down from the engine bay into the fenderwell i can clearly see the tire.

    your going to need to seal up the fenderwell to fix this issuie.
