CAI setups

definite cheap and effective way .. works very well!

although, i would recommend cutting a small return hole underneath incase you need to drive through heavy floods

alternatively, just let the pipe/hose flop and just sit facing downwards instead.

Just beware with a setup like that of something like the following happening...

I think that's pretty unlucky. One of the reasons I left the bend was to make it harder for water, leaves and other crap to be sucked up. I've been through some pretty big puddles, and so far touch wood, haven't had a problem.
I was also surprised to have a pretty clean air filter when I replaced it not too long ago with a BMC one. No leaves and other crap there either.

That said, if you don't want to take that sort of risk, stick with factory, short ram pod or the BMC CDA's work pretty well.
