Ok guys here you go. As I stated before the filter is not as low now as that picture shows, it has moved up a good 5 inches. I have driven it in heavy snow, yes we got a foot of snow in Hampton, Va and in heavy rain doing 70 to 80 on I-81 and it never got soaken wet, only slight drips of water on it from the interstate driving. First its being moved a tad higher when I get a new filter that fits better where I want and close the area off from the top. When you wash the car no water gets on it either. Also, I didn't put the bypass on cause I didn't feel the need with my setup. In fact sold it to a buddy with a integra type r. First this motor will never suck up water like that especially with the angle and length of tube I have running. Also, I don't plan on driving in the everglades either or in Lake Erie. I've seen tons of ricers who really do need bypass valves cause they run the filter on the ground and aimed forward so they have a bad tendency on any road with bad drainage to have water ingested. Many of you have seen fox body cold air kits that suck air down low that goes up to the filter box. Basically I copied that idea but ran the filter down low instead but that is raised so the water isn't a worry anymore. Eventually I'm running a scoop very similiar to those kits to get air to the new filter I will be ordering. So far this kit I made has cost me a whopping 5 bucks, so pay your 100 plus from dreamspeed if they ever make one to get all the hot air you want. I'm pretty happy with my setup and its appearance. I got some more pics that I posted of the intake and I'll be updating my webpage soon for you guys to check out. Got many requests for pictures of my leather interior and other features. Take care and IM if you want or email.
