It looks like it may be above the splash guard so unless you submerge your car I would think you would be OK. Maybe someone with the kit or Sam can chime in.

I have the stg 1 kit on my G. the air intake is in the fake break duck behind the trans cooler on my car. this is a low location.

1) I drive my car as a DD in rain snow and everything. Not one issue with water in 1.5 years with the kit. Now will i drive threw 2' of standing water? NO. But i would not have done that with the car when it was stock so no issue for me.


2) cuz i know it will be asked. No the trans cooler infront of the intake does not hamper the cold air going into the intake. it is only a trans cooler people not a blow tourch.

Would there be any point to a larger radiator if the OEM fans dont come on until 215*F anyways?

Any info on pricing for the upgraded radiator and the version with the fans?

Of course. Bigger radiator means more heat capacity through the combination of more surface area and more coolant capacity. Even with the fans set the same, a bigger radiator should do a better job of handling the heat load when pushing the car. It probably would have little to no effect on idling or mild driving around town, but that's not where people are running into trouble anyway.

Since the fans and radiator were in this press release, do they have pricing and an availability date?

Don't think so. Sam has indicated that that information is coming. There are going to be 4 different options.
