hahaaha...I think I got you all beat, I live in south florida...
I drove around for about a year before comptech came out with their cold box with an Injen cold air, without incident...It's just a matter of not doing something insanely stupid...
If you are going to cut it in half, as Trey suggested, just go out and buy a coupling and some hose clamps, and when its not miserable, leave it a cold air...
