Default Which CAI sits lower?

Doing some research into intakes and thought I'd compare the Injen and TRD.

I found a great pic showing the placement of the filter on the Injen CAI, and I'm looking for a similar picture to see how far down the filter on the TRD CAI sits. Here is the pic.



From the looks of the piping on the TRD, it looks like it might sit a tad lower than the Injen, which would make me lean more towards the Injen due to hydrolock reasons.

If anyone could tell me which CAI sits lower I would appreciate it.

i have the trd cai, don't know if it sits lower, but it has a bypass valve to help prevent hydro locking. but there was a guy on here last week or so who hydrolocked with a fujita cai i think.

Yeah I like the black chrome finish, trd badge, and bypass valve on the TRD intake, but I'm not sure if it is worth the extra money compared to the cheaper Injen.

I was hoping to find out which one sat lower to help my decision, does anyone know?
