I have been running one for a year and a half and no problems. Sound great under induction ! :smiley:

Cut a few inches off the end of the pipe then you shouldn't have any problems with water getting sucked up. My filter sits just under the headlight bracket.

water sucked up lol how deep are these puddles :shocked:

Well normal rain puddles are fine, but we have all been at the point where a road has been pretty flooded and has a few inches of rain across the whole road. And there's no turning round... When I first fitted mine, it sat just at the bottom of the bumper, and I am lowered a lot, so about 3 inches off the ground. Better safe than sorry eh?
There was a guy on here who went through a deepish one and sucked up water and his engine got hydro locked. :shocked:

i can honestly say in all my years of driving (12 years) i have never come to a puddle that deep.

You must live in a completely flat town then :grin:
Loads near me when it rains heavy :cry:
-
I took the exhaust off a van wen I went thru one :laugh:

If you going to run one then fit a better quality air filter, I have a carbonio kit on mine and it sounds awesome :grin:

So you've never driven through a puddle?!

ive driven through alot of puddles but not to the extent of 12 inches deep (the size from the floor to the bottom of my cold air induction filter)
-
my cars low so dont think it would be that high :grin:
my mate had one with the same setup on his ep3 type r and it sucked up water and boom engine was fooked
-
I think it would need to be a deep puddle, I am carefull with mine but it is still a long way from the floor.

man you would want to check out the puddles we had in ireland last year lol torrential rain made a river burst its banks down at a mates house when i was there all the houses on the road got flooded included the neighbour that just had a basement built, had to of been around 20 cars and vans stuck just out side his house the water was up to my chest and no im not a midget im 5 foot 11

Wow this one time i went to the sea side and saw a massive puddle, it was called the sea yet i didnt drive through it.
-
after all the mixed reports of it does/doesnt make any difference, I just have a custom tube that runs next to the battery
-
when i had 1 on i couldnt avoid hittin a massive puddle once never had any issues after
-
i does make a difference in terms of sound but performance i dont think the gains are like a N/A engine
-
Chop a few inches off the end if you are worried, makes sense. And us guys love chopping things :laugh: :grin:

-

I still have seen so many mixed reviews about what to use, most people stay standard, seen loads with just the uprated filter bolted on to the end of the MAF and then seen loads of custom jobs.
At the end of the day you only change from the original for the noise from the DV any other gains are questionable from what I have read
