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.

I want to do that. Has anybody made a write up on how to do it? How much do you have to hack away at the car? where do you get those plates made?

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

but the wind from driving down the highway WILL carry it up, especially if its that kind or rain mist you get sometimes.

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.
