i`ve been tempted so many time, just for the pipe bit of it tbh.. the filter is crap. many complain of the chance of sucking up a puddle and hydrolocking your engine but unless your`e a comlete numpty you should be fine.
i want one but not for £50`s worth of china china..

Pipework all good. Personally, I wouldn't use the filter unless your really have to
