New dinan intake questions.

[shortyz918]

I just installed the Dinan Intake and i dont actually see how this location is the best spot for cold air at all. It looks trapped behind the bumper. My main concern is water ingestion, i read that in order to put it on i needed to cut a piece of of the brake duct. great now i have a water duct also. Any comments on water ingestion? should i be able to see the cai from the bumper, i dont know if i cut too much of the duct away.

i can see mine from the front if i take off a piece of my bumper. get a weather sock for your intake and you wont have any problems. i've had mine for a year now and never had a problem with water.

snow and everything will be just fine? i got the soc on there, i dont know how that things stops water but...

Why'd you bother getting the Dinan Cold Water Intake in the first place?

I never liked that thing. The water sock isn't going to do a damn thing when you drive through a nasty puddle on the LIE.

Sell it and get yourself an ECIS or Gruppe M intake that keeps the filter element in the engine bay.

The oil on the filter combined with a sock will keep water out. You would have to drive through some deep water to made the engine digest it. Get a sock and keep the filter good and clean and you will have no worries.
