vararam intake question
for those who have/had the vararam snake charmer intake you know the air inlet sits pretty low to the ground. have you ever had any serious water issues (beyond getting the MAF sensor or filter a little wet) that caused serious damage?
Heres a thought, and by all means give me your input on it. Cut a hole on the backside of the intake before the filter. That way if the entire inlet portion is submerged in water air could still be drawn from that cut out hole and *SHOULDNT* be sucked entirely through the filter and into the engine. Input?

I have the Vararam on my 05...and it sounds like a good idea "BUT" I think it would cut down on the amount of air being forced into the throttlebody...
Thus defeating the original purpose of the "Forced Air Intake" I just make sure I "NEVER" go through any standing water...I have driven through a heavy rain storm with no problims...
