Injens new Hydroshield?
Anyone have one of these yet? I ordered one for my intake but it hasn't arrived yet.
Just lookin for some feedback on this product or any other filter wrap/prefilter products.

I have the shorty intake also and I don't have fog lights on my box. My plan is to mod the foglight cover in the bumper to allow a direct flow of cold air to the filter. That's where the Hydroshield comes in. It SHOULD keep moisture out of my intake.

If you take out or modify the fog light cover for the cai. Here's a little DIY you can do. I should mention it's kinda goofy so do it at your own risk. IT would be a good idea touse this DIY in conjunction with the hydroshield.
Use a flower pot that is a little bigger then the filter itself. Cut the flower pot in half or to your liking. Face the opening of the flower pot away from the opening for the fog lamp. Attaching it is another story, that is where your creativity comes in. My brother did it with his old accord worked pretty good actually. I know several companies make a heat shield for the CAI filter. I have a feeling those can be used as well.

I'd go with the hydroshield man. The Water Repellent feature is like the Teflon coating on some fabrics. Water will bead-up on the surface and shake-off easily, but if the water bead sits on the fabric long enough the water will eventually soak into the fabric.

I've had the Hydrofilter on for the last week and it's been working out well. I was affraid that by cutting into the foglight plug I would have issues with water but ...so far so good. I checked the filter a couple of times after getting home (in the rain) and didn't notice any water even ON the filter.
