Default It's a good start......
If he was to add a tad to it and have the filter to the left and pulling in 100% cold air like this he'd be much better off than Stock Airbox.

Default As long as he/you doesn't/don't hit a puddle under WOT
well, water would probably vaporize as soon as it hit the compressor housing...

Do you guys think I'm better off uninstalling my intake and going stock or making a nice heat shield
