its really not all that bad looking. the duct tape actually match the color of my car and i trimmed it to size. i took it out cause it stop raining but next time ill take pictures. anyone with an CAI should really take a look at how close the vent is to the filter, directly above it! imagine is if it pours nonstop! holly cow!

 

You should've used painter's tape. Works just as good and doesn't leave the sticky residue behind.

 

You evo X dudes with duct tape are weird............................................. ..................................j/k

do you duct tape when you go to carwash?

 

^^^ yeah.. pics of the duc tape... lol

 

you mean duct tape?

and the water does drip right onto the air box when it rains. dont think i would be so ghei and tape it though just won't put a CAI.

 

lol i put a bag over my exhaust, you never know where it might get in through lol!

 

I drive around with a custom car cover that has clear parts for the windows so i can see out ... the only real problem i have is getting in and out of the car ... I don't mind because its my car but my dates don't like the idea of having to crawl under the cover to get in and out

 

now that was awesome!!!!!

 

yea, fun to watch steam bellow outta the vents when you leave a carwash... in my evo 8, lol

 

funny you ask. i havent wash my car ever since i got it and its been almost a month! ive been using the quick wax wipe. wax it every other day

 

You would pretty much have to submerge the intake to do any damage. Rain and car washes won't hurt it.

 

any X owners driven in the pouring rain with an CAI(w/hood vents) before?

 

IDK but, there are plenty with VIII's and IX's that have.
