yeah ok man, having hydrolocked a built motor i would be ok with a little heat and not inhaling water compared to just running it straight down with no bypass....not to mention you can put the bypass right where it comes into the car so it wouldn't be in the engine bay thus still getting cold air

one of the main reasons you are on my blocked list. i typically dont even bother clicking on view posts with you because thats about the response i would expect from you....intellectual and on topic as always.

ANYWAYS, if anyone routes a cold air intake outside of their engine bay, seriously look into a AEM water bypass piece to avoid sucking up water into the motor

Just installed the Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake on my Gs300 a few days ago. Came with a ram air kit also that I didn't install.

actually when you speak to aem, the bypass does not draw in air until there is a restriction in the filter then the bypass sucks, which in that way wouldnt matter because its better then sucking up water
