Use a filter sock

Nothing to worry about unless you submerge your filter

I'm in the Midwest where it can flash flood in minutes. No issues so far.

I live in Tampa Fl and have the filter wrap, and have had no issues with water, BUT when it rains heavy I try to avoid going into boost and deep puddles.

Congrats Derek. Glad you got her going. When you get the clutch in we will have to meet up. I think I know where you took the video of your first drive by. Nice spot. Congrats again.

I definitely believe minimizing air intake would reduce the risk of screwing something up. Wouldn't eliminate it.

SO want one of these for my 45th, but it will have to wait until it's paid for. But I cant wait that long before getting an Overkill tune!
Will those who already have the Overkill Tune get that discounted from the kit price?

That's an interesting point, what if a buyer doesn't want that tune?

If you do not need the tuning package yes it can be removed.

I'd only not want it because I will already have it by then. He will do updates for as long as you own the car.
