All finished up with the new filters:

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.

H+JUst wanted to mention the "devil horns" scoops are matched up to the grille opening and make a very close fit. ...

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.
