I researched catch cans a lot and morso didnt really hear about that one, I use elite engineering. Injen I would stay away from here in New England, but in Florida as long as you dont drive when its raining heavily, then youll be good.

I would stay away from it then. Too much risk and not enough gains to justify it. I went with the affordable BBK and see just as much HP bump as the next guy. If you have the money def go with CAI, they have a closed air box style enclosure that helps prevent hot air from being pulled in by the intake.

I'll probably get that on eventually. I've already purchased both items from a member on the forum.

I had the injen long tube on my 2010 coupe daily driver then installed it on my 2011 vert until I installed the IPF supercharger in late 2011. The IPF has a long tube also.
Never had a problem with the water sock installed over the filter. You really aren't going to have any problems unless you are driving through puddles over 1.5 feet deep. The tube isn't that low. Don't let people scare you off that never had the Injen, it's a great upgrade.

One of the best bangs for the buck going, besides the throttle controller.

Living in Florida is the reason I did not get the Injen. It can go from dry to epic flooding in the matter of 20 minutes.
