I installed the AEM CAI and I am a little worried. The cone is way too low considering I live in WA state where it tends to rain a lot. Anyways, I was going to shorten the intake pipe so the cone would sit right behind the drivers headlight. Would this cause any negatives?

 

wouldn't be a cai anymore then it would a sri... shouldn't hurt but before you do that see if you can find the water proof cover from K&N to put over your filter... it might be a better way out than chopping up a new cai... now what i mean?

 

cant you get that bypass thing that helps block water from coming in

 

yeah but his intake my not be in two seprate parts plus it sucks... check this out... this is what i was talkin about earlier
