How are the scoops during rainy seasons? The splash from the cars ahead and speeding, any effect on the filter getting wet, decrease perf.?
Any noticeable increase of the filter getting dirtier quicker? |

Since I live in TX, we have not had much rain since I put them in, so I can not honestly answer your questions. Might be a question you could ask in the forums though.

There is definitely an increase in dirt and bugs in the filter, no doubt. I have RPI scoops in mine and i pick up everything from dirt, dust, rocks, sticks, bugs, you name it... if this is something that bothers you, get some door screen[aluminum] (found at your local Home Depot) and apply it to the front - my preference was [red] zip ties with some super glue for extra strength. This cut all of that unnecessary debris.
I felt like an idiot at first trying to take those 2-part plugs out... i figured out by accident that there's a pin in the middle... i think because my car was so dirty at the time, i thought that it was one piece. A pic of this removal would be great for future reference. **Disclaimer: if you have the carbon filter delete mod be extra careful what terrain you drive though (i.e. farm land, construction districts, etc.), many items can puncture your paper filter and/or your K&N filter and may cause extensive damage to your intake, throttle body, and internal engine components if your filter is not checked often enough** Question: The two 'vents' in the air scoops... i don't understand the purpose... wouldn't air go through and lose efficiency? Suggestion: I would prime, paint, and clear coat your scoops to better match your OEM red paint, or paint them black for a hidden look... these look faded in color. |

Thanks for the write up, I had to cut the front outter pieces at a diagonal for them to fit properly, took longer than I expected but all done! They feel snug too

It may be a placebo affect but I do. Mainly like others say when you're going 50mph+ and punch it. The next night after installing I was going 50~ in a 45 and the light turned yellow, the guy ahead of me was stopping, I went around and punched it and I have never been thrown back in my seat like that before. I feel like the 40$ is worth the price even if it is for the reasons to get through yellow lights and make quick passing lane changes. They also look nice imo.
