No problem im also going to purchase these items to help stop hydrolocking:

-Injen Technology Polished Aluminum Air Filter Heat Shield/Splash Guard
-AEM Air Intake Bypass Valve (Use w/3.0" Intake Tubing)

I also believe descendant has a bypass system i think if so ill purchase theirs.

You can probably just get a 'universal' bypass valve, as long as you get the correct diameter (3") and it should fit.

The size of the air filter is 5"w at the top and 6"tall and 6" at the base. K&N has all the size you need.

If you need a bypass Valves AEM has one. 3 Inch Cold Air Bypass Valve.

Oo I could have asked Rob since he called to follow up about something else. Busy guy... I wish I read this thread sooner and could have asked him.

Kareem, please give a big thanks to Rob for me for his prompt follow up!!!

Can't you just wrap some kind of insulation around it?

That's what this one looks like...

I was just asking if modification was required to fit the bypass valve, or if we could just substitute the connector in the middle of the intake with the bypass valve...

ok so i didn't scroll down...to see the other types

apparently there is a section for tapered filters and not just straight ones...

but...there is no tapered filter that is 6 base x6 height x5 top...so what should we use?
and what is the difference between DryCharger and PreCharger?

According to the descriptions at the top of the page, it looks like the PreCharger is only designed to be run dry and is not water repellent. The DryCharger is water repellent and needs to be changed every 1 to 2 years to remain effective at repelling water.
