FIPK- I was just thinking... I was just thinking that I might help my intake system by creating some "breathing" holes underneath my FIPK..maybe put in a splash shroud just below it (in front of the radiator) to keep water away...what do ya think....

It works even w/o the ram air hood. And when I do get the US Exotics WS9 hood, I'll keep the FIPK. Looks cool and isn't losing any power to a lid. Like its been said, the only time its an issue is at a stop light, which is a good reason for a fan switch. Once its moving you're good to go(which is the only time hp counts 
)

I cut out a large opening , quarter inch smaller then the shape of the filter itself, then rounded off the edges and painted. I haven't had any issues with water, even in the Hawaiin torential (sp?) rains and flash flooding of local roads. It seems to get a lot more air from under, the bottom of the filter gets dirty quicker then the top and IATs dropped a little bit while at a stop. At cruise only maybe 1 or 2*s, but thats still better than none.
