While I'm on a role with dumb questions, will it hurt to cut the long tube Stillen intakes to make them the short ram intakes? Just curious before I get them installed because I've heard some about sucking up water from when it rains causing some damage.

The G3s are in no danger of sucking up water... they sit pretty high off the ground. Leave them be and do not cut them. If you wanted a short ram you could have bought one in the first place (and subsequently lost power as short-rams are nothing but a waste).

2. cutting the...O_O;; oh hell yes, it will hurt. you want short ram intakes? i heard top secret makes some kick *** ones... 3. ...rain...g3...wait, WHAT?! where'd you hear that from?? the g3s are tucked safely away, fairly high up the front. if you had injens (like i do), you have more of a chance of getting rain. EDIT: oh, semtex noted it already, it's basically the same high as the stock airbox. BUT: even with my injens, a little rain threat still won't get me chopping up my CAI for some franken-short tubes! i'm with semtex on this one welcome to the forums buddy. |

Haha I know guys, I'm new to the whole aftermarket products for my car. I obviously knew I would be given a hard time with it, but I was just trying to make sure because a couple of local performance places told me that the intakes would suck up amounts of water and cause damage...didn't really understand their concept of how this would be, so I figured I'd ask.
