I totally agree...It also depends on where you live...if it rains a lot or not...I'm from LA where its mild rain but I go to school in San Diego where it can get pretty wet sometimes...

I have an Injen short ram, I've had it for about 4 years now and I got a cold air extension for it...I put it in a few summers ago and during the fall it was raining pretty hard so I took it off and I have never put it back on again...its just too risky for me personally to have a cold air. The bypass does NOTHING unless your ENTIRE filter is SUBMERGED in water so don't think gettin the bypass will save your life. Why risk your engine's life for an extra horsepower or two...

By the way, get AEM...Injen intakes used to be cool for me but some of them aren't CARB certified yet (mine wasn't, 98 Accord, 4cylinder) and it sucks for a smog check.....So as of a couple months ago I have decided that I HATE WITH A PASSION Injen intakes...too much fuss for a non-CARB certified intake...\

Plus AEM has more colors to choose from.....

INJEN sucks my middle nut!!
