All finished up with the new filters:
Watch this video first for a detailed explanation:
Here you can see the difference n the filters.. The newest ones are drawing air only from the tip. They still flow very well, but they are shrouded in plastic (fortified by the adhesive heat shield wrap I used to further protect them) and do not draw in heat from the engine bay now.

Hi. Thank you very much for this DIY, it's great to see people being creative (especially when it doesn't cost an arm and a leg). Right now I can't view the parts list which was in the first post. I'm currious where you obtain the Y-pipe and silicone hoses? Thank you.

His status says "banned" so im guessing hes gone. I am no expert but from what he did with the front grille intakes etc.. it looks like one run through a powerful carwash with the engine on and im guessing shes in hydrolock heaven.

On the other hand, he has air filters and they actually would hold the water back i believe.
