You feel the HP gain? Watch out for rain so it don't suck in water.

Looks good. From the pics it looks like you added a U tube after the regluar intake tube then a cone filter?

Do you feel the car getting more cold air?

There is 3 pipes and a filter, I bought it as a kit , it comes with all u need! I think it is quicker but, that's jus a butt dyno, but I'm sure it's more than factory or a short ram for sure! Plus I have a lot of vents in my hood, so my intake temp I'm sure is pretry low compared to stock hood and intake...

Lol, I know that, like I said before it's almost completely covered covered it behind the bumper and behind the wheel well covers,only direct air is from the air duct that cools the breaks.. so it's pretty much out of any direct water.. belive me I have had a Cai completely exposed and still.didn't have any issues, and yes I watch the weather before I drive, I have a civic and a Yukon click Denali if it rains and it's stored in the winter.. so I'm pretty safe

With PPE header or Midepipe, exhaust then it'll be worth Dyno.
