Also don't worry about some water getting into the engine. Aslittle water gets inside it evarorates before or after detonation. The only thing this can even do is steam clean the cylinder. You just don't want to have water sitting inside a cold motor creating rust.

Interesting. My K&N is just a OEM replacement filter and not a CAI replacement and my MPG went up 1+ mpg.

AFE makes a real nice intake for the 4.7. I used their washable, non oiling filter one and was very happy with it. The placement of the air filter is much better than where K&N puts their with the FIPK. I also used the FIPK, and performance wise, I never noticed any increase with either. I am back to using the stock airbox with a K&N dropin filter, and an Airaid intake tube.

Kensai:
The fuel mileage went down because he couldn't keep his foot out of the floor board.

Everyone loves that sound![sm=gears.gif]

I had a ebay CAI with a heat shield on my dak, then I went to a K&N drop in, and I noticed more with the drop in.
