I've got a silly question and hoping someone has an answer. Has anyone ever used one of those hydro shield pre-filters that are supposed to keep water from getting into the intake? I know that the filter obviously can't be submerged but wondering if they do as advertised because I'm building a custom cold air intake with my son because he is bored and wanted to do something to my truck and I had some stuff I had bought for an intake I was going to build for my old eclipse lying around so I figured why not. We trimmed the stock box mounting piece and mocked up our own box with cardboard and ran it all the way down the fender liner creating a "seal" to the fender and front of the truck. I know this isn't going to add anything but sound but seeing as his favorite movies are the first couple of Fast & Furious movies he is all for it. We transferred the cardboard template to some plastic then used aluminum pieces to hook it up and mount it. They only thing I need to get is the filter and I have a 4" aluminum tube coming and then it will be ready to install but I'm worried about water splashing up onto the filter. I don't do much with the truck because it's my work vehicle but occasionally I splash some water up into the bay on a jobsite.
