for anyone who has done the injen/takeda cai...

i want to create a secure pod filter ... no water getting anywhere close to the inlet. When its behind the bumper ( mine has the fog lights) i have seen some youtube videos that covers the pod area with plastic and looks more enclosed and seems to prevent water entering that area...

would anyone have any clue where to get this plastic part? or where you to somehow get plastic sheets ( bunnings) and screw on?

My current plan, is to insert a hard plastic and place it in between the under body tray and the filter. Don't even need to screw on for my instance as it would hold itself by the inner wheel arches/filter/underbody tray. The main point is just to prevent any splashing of water from underneath. As long as it prevents water from directly splashing onto the filter, it will be fine as water will leak out by itself. Also, because i don't have fog light, i'm not too worried about water from the front. However, i might need to make a 2 fold plastic as there's also a pretty big hole in between the filter and our gearbox (the hole's used to be where the air resonator pipe goes)

The hard plastic i'm gonna be using, is one of those hard plastic dinner table mat that one should be able to get off a $2 shop.

For your case, i think you just need to make it a 3 fold.......hope what i say makes sense??

All that effort.... Why not just get a icebox instead?

Too much prob with the cu2 icebox. One of them is the rattling noise because the box is made of thin carbon fibre

I think its pretty obvious that its bad news if the intake is flooded with a lot if water, but does it really matter if a little goes in? It seems a lot of work to completely isolate the filter.

I think its really up to individual. Technically, little bit of water wouldn't bother it that much as the CAI filter's oil based (at least my injen is) which will block off some water when being splashed. But its just for a piece of mind. For my method, i don't even think i need to take off the bumper as i should be able to slide it in by some of the underbody tray clips

funny how takeda and injen are probably same packaging size but ppl wanna charge more for shipping

with the elcheapo ones, is it worth buying one and slapping on a K&N pod
