Also, I used to run a "Buschur Cold Air Intake" that put a cone filter right in front of the tire. Sucking up water a few times made me decide thats a bad idea. The filter itself is staying in the stock location, But I want it to get fresh cold air so an air box is needed. I will enlarge the stock sidemount intercooler piping hole, and by that I mean get the sawzall out. I'm gonna probably run 4" or 5" dryer duct from the bumper cover to the air box.

I will post pics as I go!

I had it for a couple of years without any problems sucking up water. I used the "sawzall technique" as I was fitting a large intake pipe down there. I had to cut a lot out and use the tin snips around the fender area as it was a little tight. May go easier if you use the sawzall from the bottom.
