i mean dude still runs a similar intake it is just he dont ride in the rain as much.

funny thing is he called up his insurance told them what happened and they said they would pay for fixing the engine being hydrolocked .
anyway he asked them if he could choose who gets to rebuild the engine and they were cool with him sending it to mti for the rebuild .
pretty cool huh ?
