Tuan, do you know the measurements on the filter? I got one of the intakes/exhaust from you Friday (Super easy install, perfect fit, happy so far!) but with the filter hanging so low, I'm going to see about getting a water repellant outerwear filter for it. So instead of pulling it off, do you know the height and upper and lower diameters of the filter? thanks!

The filter is probably too low because its not pushed onto the intake pipe enough. Slide it upward but dont push it too far or the car wont get any air.

any sort of bypass valve for it. I've always been shaky about getting a cai, especially since my friend just locked his engine up because of it. i haven't found a shortram intake for the fit yet (aside from the way too expensive carbon fiber one)

The only way for a car to locked up from a CAI, is if the Filter is Submerged in water. Now in order to do that, you have to be like in 1.5 ~ 2 feet of water, by then your interior would flooded in water. You can get a Bypass valve from any company (like AEM would have to cut like about an inch from intake piping), but even then you still still suck up mist of water.

Really to solve that probly you have you a few choices!

1- you can just avoid water, or driving in the rain (if you have another car)
2- you can buy our CAI, and cut it shorter, and slap the intake on. (lose a few HP cuz of the hot air hitting the intake)
3- or remove the CAI period, if it rain. (my kit is literally like 5 mins install)

Thank for the feedback,
TUAN @ A Spec.

"2- you can buy our CAI, and cut it shorter, and slap the intake on. (lose a few HP cuz of the hot air hitting the intake)"

Well, I know the air isn't as cold, but it gets to the engine faster, wouldn't that just shift the power curve down some?

Either way, i'm still not too sure about the cai. Any plans on releasing a short ram?

I just installed mine and it works great. Solid design and kit includes all the hardware. I may shorten the pipe or make a splash sheild at the bottom.

Other than that I think it's a great buy.

No plans for a short ram yet. I can look into it, it will bring some HP down a bit, but still better then a stock intake, it will free a lot for air flow cuz of the cone. You'll still gain power, but not as much as if it was cold air.

but if you like i can CUT it shorter for you, its not hard at all. It wont rust cuz its full alum. Charge you the same for it.

But let me know,
TUAN @ A Spec.

That sounds good.. when I scrape up the money to buy the exhaust, i'll get the short ram with it too.. where will you cut it? I was looking at the picture, and I wasn't really quite sure where the best point would be.

So is there any chance...ANY chance at all of having any kind of a problem with this unit and water? Obviously driving through a foot of water isn't something I'm going to do...however it does rain quite frequently here in Missouri and I don't plan on taking it off every time it rains. I've only ever heard of people having a problem if they run through a lot of standing water, but if picking up mist/spray will cause a problem too, then I'll have to re-consider.

sorry for the lame questions, but I don't know a lot about all this and don't want to take any chances with the engine. My only engine upgrades would be a CAI and exhaust anyway.

I believe all intakes will pick up mist and spray, but not 100% sure. You pretty much narrowed yourself down to a K&N Drop'in Filter. Anything like cold air, short ram, or Arc box intakes will suck up a little water or close to no water at all. But to be safe I think you should be a K&N Drop in filter, you wont get max HP, but it will increase it up a lil.

Dont worry about the lame questions and such, you got to be 100% sure you want the intake, its a new car, and you wanna keep it new and fresh.

What you can do is. Put it on summer times, and take it off in winter.
haha.

But thanks for your question,
TUAN @ A Spec.
