Those are primary concerns about the Injen solution, not the performance.

man .. that is good to know .. injens no more .. it pours in HI!

gains aren't on the levels of the G3's. For the price, not worth it.

Great intake. No one has a before and after dyno..(I had the intake)

Any long 'cold' air intakes (injens, g3, etc) will have the chance of water getting to the filters. I have the Injens and Im very pleased with them but my car is not a daily driver so it doesn't see any water. I know I'm just beating a dead horse here but if your worried about water soaking up through your filters then just go with the short ram intakes or just throw in the k&n's in there. In regards to hp and tq, with all these intakes out there, we're only talking about minimal gains either way around. There isn't 'one' special, revolutionary, magical intake that is above all other intakes. In my opinion there all the same. In the end, it just personal preference trying to squeeze out those extra 4-6 hp and not ""20-30hp"". Just my 0.2 cents.

Explain to me how water can get to the Gen3's?? Unless you think your car is a submarine. I would have to say the Gen3's are going to get about as wet as a SRI which has been proven is the worst type of intake to buy. As for the gains there have been several dynos showing the Gen3 adding 10-15hp maybe more on a stock Z.

AHAHAH Said "car is a submarine". Agree tho. I have GEN 3's and the sheild is pretty good I have check my filters after I washed the car and there where not wet.. And mositer will not go through the filters Like he said you would litterally have to be under water to have issues. I would be more worried about the INJENS that go down by the fender wells.

I did say 'chance' of getting water into the cold air intake filters. If you guys say that theres no way that the g3 intakes will not get wet then that would be my choice as far as going long tube for you daily drivers. 10-15 hp! Even better, right? Goodluck with your choice.

Sure, but the gen3's it about a .5% chance, whereas the injens it is probably a 4-10% chance depending on who you believe.

And let's be real, if you get water in your gen3s, you have bigger issues to worry about, like how to get out of your car underwater.

Zmaster, take everything being said here in cosideration and do more research. In the end it's your car and only you know in what conditions you drive it in. Good luck.

Wet describe wet. .. The will not get soaked, I'm sure not wet enough to pull in water,, They have mist or some moister on them but thats it , Nothing to worry about, I;m sure at 80 MPH in the rain there is a some moisture that get to them, But so does the stock air box. But unless you are at WOT with a hose in the grill you are good . Now the INJENS are a whole nother story.

Either Injen or Stillen, We like both :) I dont think I have seen any of the Injen's doing that in california though. Lucky us I guess...
