Anyone here have a CAI that sticks way down in the fenderwell area like the K&N that makes you afraid to drive through any puddles at all? Well, I was so I fixed that problem. It worked like a charm. Here's what I did. I took the arm (pipe) out of the fenderwell area and hacksawed about 6" off of it. Now it sits comfortably inside at a higher level so I don't have to worry about the puddles and or standing water anymore. I have a minimum of 12" clearance now and some peace of mind. May be drastic, but I feel it was worth it. The hacksaw cut straght through no problem. I woud recommend it to anyone who has the same fears. I didn't want to short ram it since that defeats the purpose of a CAI (cold). Now, I get the best of both worlds. I think K&N did it like that so it could bolt onto the inside of the car. I cut above that so I don't have that secured there anymore, but it still doesn't move with the one bolt at the top and the hose flange with the clamp. No problems and I love it. It still gets the same airflow it used to too! Just wanted to let everyone know how I overcame an obstacle and how easy it was. Peace, Chris
