Nice set up Eddie. Mine still looks better. LOL Be careful with your MAF sensors I went through about 5. Gets plenty of air and plenty of moisture/water when its foggy or it rains.

Nice, right up to the point where water enters the duct and the engine, it's the oh **** part at the end that sucks.

I drive mine in the rain all the time and never have problems. I damn sure don`t drive through any kinda water though. I find a hell of alot of rocks and **** in the air box though. The throttle response is a hell of alot better especially when the weather is cool and from a 50 mph roll. Talking about water. I got water in my car two weeks ago. The problem was I wasn`t driving it and left it at my apartment and my complex flooded. Motor, Tranny, and rear end had no water in it. Wheel bearings are sealed and I re-greased the BMR ball joints and I was good to go. I did have to pull the carpet and pay 95 bucks for a tow to my parents house so I could check everything out. Time for light weight carpet now. I reccomend this ram air system is you have your bumber supports removed. Water is heavier than air and will not suck up into the motor unless you drive through a pool of water. No I don`t have a formula on how water is heavier than air I just have it all in my head.LOL

You've been lucky, keep driving it like that in the rain and you will lose the engine it's only a matter of time. BTW, it doesn't have anything to do with the weight of anything, ever seen what rain drops do when they hit the ground? nuff said.
