I love it. Sounds like a v8 in a way.

Thinking about getting the K&N but should i be worried on getting water into the intake or does it safely sit high enough? Granted im not driving through a river but many roads near me have huge puddles when it rains.

Nowhere close to K&N lol

It will sound like Fsport

K&N is one of the loudest 2IS intakes

pmanliu, the filter for the intake sits very high, right behind the passenger side headlight. If you're in water that deep, then you have a bigger issue than getting water into your engine.

There's a picture on page 1 that karll09 posted of it installed.
