I had a CAI, and ended up cutting it up to move the filter up.

I want to cut up the rest of the piping, and move the filter alittle lower than it is. The filter is almost touching the hood right now, lol. But it works.

hey, know the feeling... i live here in northeastern pa myself... had to take it off and put the stock one back on quite a few times... looking on the bright side, i could do it in my sleep with one hand tied behind my back within two minutes emoji

i have an AEM cai and i bought their bypass valve for it. i didnt install it yet, but essentially, you cut the intake in half, then put each end in the side of the valve and put it back on. that way if any water gets in, the difference in suction will make the breather flaps on the bypass valve open up and take air from there instead. also, to be extra careful, when it's raining, just disconnect the bypass valve and bottom half of the cai as one piece, and put a spare filter on the end of the top half.

Dunno if he will send you a message. Chances are he hasn't been on since '05 when this thread was created.

Nice job searching, but try to look at thread dates next time.
