doesnt water eventually ruin the injector plugs or cause problems since the maf is there aswell? I know people say its water proof but idk thats the only thing holding me back on this mod

Its all water proof, otherwise none of these cars would survive a rain storm. They are all weather pack connectors for the past 20+ years. There is no issue getting a motor wet.

never even considered this... but my car has only been wet maybe 2 times in the past 2 years. This includes washing it!

It won't hurt anything. Connectors nowadays are very robust. Triple seals, etc.

Every single time since I've owned the car, when I wash it, I pop the hood and degrease and wash the engine.

Sorry if I've missed it but did you measure 9" from the top? I feel that the farther down the vent goes, the better it looks? Already got my mine, debating on location....

Looks great Ricardo. I'm thinking of doing this too. Well, more than thinking... committed!
I ordered the vent today. Not sure how long it will take to do it though. Car is still in the paint shop.
