Even if it is, those little foam disks pictured are specifically there to ensure you can't hydrolock your motor in the event you submerge your primary filters. In fact, I'm surprised Injen didn't have these as an option on theirs.

Oh and OP, PLEASE dyno your car with these, ideally a before and after would be great, but I'll take whatever I can get.

You know, I'm sure if you had the interlock filters, and were good with piping, you could prolly buy a set of injens, and mod them with these yourself... I doubt it would be that crazy of an install either.

Metal tubing I presume? That's unfortunate.

Hmm.. May have to do that as I don't drive the car at all when it rains and if it does, I head straight home.


I had an RSX Type S with the injen cai's and just say I almost hydrolocked my motor. 6 oil changes later and all the water was out the motor..

The other option is to make some kind of baffle/surround that you could C-clamp over the Injens filter that would block the bottom side of it from water... But then really, these are things Injen should have R&D'd in product development... I'm kinda surprised their product has had so many problems with Z's.

At Injen's defense, their products are "intended for off-road use only." ;-)

True, but I doubt flooding is much of an issue on a race track where these products are intended for. =)
