I looked at getting one, it gave me an easy way to free up the passenger side of the engine bay for a second battery, and it is among the best for gains according to the dyno. Problem is, where the intakes go, I'll have my truck under water or mud that far. Don't really feel the need to hydrolock my engine.

Great intake for a truck to take to the strip. Ok for a pavement queen I guess, as long as you don't get stupid with standing water when it downpours...

 

Ive got a buddy at work that has one. He likes his. A bit too costly for me but again, he likes his

 

I have one, I really like it. I would not buy it if you off road much. As far as standing water on the road, it would have to be above the inlet on the bumper, so most places it is not an issues. It has nice gains especially from 35 mph and up. It also is not loud like other CAIs.

 

Also, Maryland Speed has it a little cheaper than the link you posted http://marylandspeed.com/vararam-hem...mi-p-2033.html

 

Ya, when I'm talking standing water on the roads, I'm talking like Florida afternoon monsoons, where it's not uncommon for the drainage canals to back up and there can be 3-4' of water on the roads, then a half hour after the rain stops, it'd be gone...

 

Gotcha....like I said though, most places it is not an issue. One other thing, if you do end up having to drive through standing water, you can always disconnect the hoses. The intake will get hot air from the engine bay, but better than sucking in water
