Here is the prototype for the MGS. This is a system designed specifically for everyone who currently has a SRS. The lower pipe will be the same for the CAS, while the upper pipe on the CAS moves further away from the battery terminal for more clearance.
Here is the splashguard prototype. There will be 2 small slits in the bottom near the liner for potential water drain.
Here is the temperature info taken from this mornings drive. The drive starts off on the street, then to the 2 freeways, then about 2 miles of lights.
Why a splashgaurd? I was under the impression that water was only a problem if the filter was submerged. If not, then just driving my 240sx with injen CAI would have killed my car because you could see it plain as day from the front of the car in the vent holes in the bumper.
From what I've seen, the CAI on the SRT-4 sits almost on top of the wheel. You would have to drive through water deep enough to get your feet wet inside the car to submerse that.
Please expand on my limited knowledge

It's more of a safety issue, since there is no guard from the factory. You need to be in at least a 7" puddle from the splashguard up to fully submerge the filter. Add that to whatever ground clearance you have from your suspension.
sounds great, I've seen people making their own units but didn't want to cut mine up to tell the truth. I am greatly interested in this piece. Way to go AEM!
I would prefer it to be sold separately myself for reason of cost savings. I can see that the piece would cost an extra $20 alone just for looks/development/quality and could compromise a respectable price on the CAI extension unit itself.
