Yeah they oright mate alot of people chop about 2inchs off to prevent sucking up alot of water.

I run one for about 6months no problems too.
More noise than anything if you ask me  :grin:

Yeah its all noise, I would either put a K&N in your airbox or just use an under the hood equivalent = a piece of ali tubing and a cone filter (much cheaper than the kit your looking at)  :smiley:
