2008 Lancer Injen CAI $280
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Anyway, I just got back from a local shop here in Greenwood, Indiana; Tru Motorsports (www.trumotorsports.com) where I ordered my CAI. I talked to the owner, and he said he'll sell the injen CAI's for $280 shipped for right now.
If you're interested, you can call them at (317) 787-8668. Ask for Jorge, he's the owner, and mention you heard about it on a lancer forum, and you should be set. You should also be able to contact them through their website, personally I would use the phone to make sure everything is set up right.
Good Luck,
Sean

Yeah, I'll be sure to post a little vid. of it after I get it in., I'll try and take a few pics during the install too. It Should be in sometime early next week, so, it'll be a nice christmas present to myself. And I'll probably install it over the weekend.
Oh, also, The part number for mine (the polished one) is SP1835 according to my receipt. And I believe the black one is SP1835B (i don't remember right off hand though).

It means you hurt your engine bad 
You really dont need to worry about it though. I have driven with mine twice now in heavy rain for over an hour. I dont have the hydrosheild either and my car is fine.

Hydrolock occurs when water carried thru the air intake / air manifold enters the engine combustion zone where air and gas normally mix and are ignited. in this situation where water enters the equation, generally at first the water gets instantly vaporized into a gas and exits along with everything else thru the normal combustion. But if enough water and i say enough water enters that area and is not able to convert into a gas, remains as a liquid and thats where the problem starts. If a piston makes contact with water (liquid), well it might as well be a block of cement. Now if cars in theory only had one piston engine well then, there is a chance that maybe just maybe the rod / piston might survive, it would come to a dead shop and possibly bend the rod. But add 2 4 or 6 pistons into the equation, the forces at work can lead to a train wreak of damage possibly breaking or bend all rods. Jesus, Rods, Pistons, Rings, Valves. Game over, you might as well pull the pin on the grenade and count to 5 holding it.
If that doesnt sound clear, look at it this way, walk up to a punching back, and punch it as hard as you can. sure thats easy
now turn around and punch a brick wall with the same force. if you only break a couple of fingers, well i would say you took alright, if you break your fingers and your wrist, i am sure that will hurt, if you break every bone in your arm up to your elbow, i think yo uwill understand what happens to a piston when it runs into water.Yes i know useless analogies but hey, you asked for it
I am sure Blacksheep can take everything i said and sum it up into 2 neat lines. (thats why he is the editor of my novel i am writing)

I have seen a few tests, its not easy to hydrolock your engine with a filter not exposed to the elements. you have to try pretty damn hard actually to do it.

Evo is right ... the Hydroshield is totally unnecessary.... I parked my jeep in a river and had a K&N CAI completely under water and suck it straight to the engine.... even though the engine was completely Hydro'd ... I was able to remove and dry the spark plugs, crank the water out and drive it home that very day
So even if water splashed the filter there's no way it's gonna suck all the way up into the engine unless it's completely submersed ... and even if it is -It's not the end of the world

Sometimes you can get lucky and fix it. I've been in that situation and it wasn't pretty...but I did drive home that night
