I'm interested in knowing how you fair when it comes to wet conditions. I know that after driving in a good rain, that area where your filter is sitting is quite wet in my LB.

Please keep us informed.

I shoulda taken pictures of where it sits, i would have to submerge my whole front end for water to reach where the filter sits, if i can get my car up on a lift i'll see if i can get a bottom view pic. and we'll play find the air filter LOl

ps. WeeYari Please show your design very interested to see what it looks like and its effectiveness, i'm always open for new ideas.

i drove thru that crazy rain storm the GTA had about 4years ago with a cai...no hydrolock....

the synopsis of the article in the new SCC magazine was that sri adds more hp than a cai top-end and the cai adds more tq in the low end and stock intake is the middle ground

however, both cai and sri add hp over stock by basically tricking the MAF into thinking there is less air passing by the sensor and the MAF thereby leans out the typically rich a/f ratio....hence more hp

a good read if you spend the 6$ on the mag...
