Actually I once heard about someone here having one of those real long tube intakes down too far and ingesting water into the engine and...well a disaster it has been quite some time though, and I suggest the CAI brand with the scoop...........

As Long as it is tuned for your combination it will Work Great.

Ted.
Jannetty need your advise and experience on this man...what do u think? I still can't make up my mind on the air intake i want for my car. below im copying a discussion on the forum on Fasltane vs AEM vs Injen..and below is an issue on heat soak..

Well it may have produced the most power if it were not for the massive amounts of heat soak. I had a Pipeline and it skyrocketed IAT's killing power. You can see how high the IAT's started to get with the Jannetty CAI test. I believe he tested 2 or all three of the ones on your list. The heat soak just gets worse and worse with those intakes the longer your engine is running and the pipe and IAT sensor doesn't cool off fast enough. The stock intake out performed the Pipeline after heat soak set in with my experience.

Take my advise and get what's proven. Vararam, New Era, and ADM race w/ scoop are going to get the best results. Even CAI inc with scoop or Halltech with scoop would be decent choices.
thanks for sharing your experience..but what may have caused all this heat soak? it's supposed to be getting in cold air; can you explain? ...have checked Jannetty's test 2, there are Airaid, ADM with similar temp climbs (both 8) compared to 9 for Fastlane, also Hennessey has 18 temp climb...
