this is the email response i received from injen:
the reason why we didn't design the intake like the place racing
> was because of the chances of water getting sucked up and most
> people out there don't want to drill holes in there cars.when
> you are driving the air from the bottom comes up into the engine
> compartment and remember heat rises ,so we placed the filter
> as low as we could.

Just drill the stupid hole and get true cold air...
You know what is also underneath the car and comes up at normal driving speeds on the highway when its raining...Water...the only way to get any water in the PR intake is if you went through alot of water (puddle), sit there, let the water go through the plastic covers, then reach the intake...On the injen it sits open to the elements and to boot its right behind the radiator...sucks in nice warm air up top in the rev band and even hot air from a light..
Drill and forget about it and dont spend 350 for a bunch of extra piping

After looking at the INJUN setup my view is thats its really a Hot Air setup, still getting the hot air from under the hood and behind the radiator. With a splash guard underneath it, it really negates any cool air it could get from under the car.
If you really want cold air you have to go outside the engine compartment. Don't want to cut, fine, but calling that setup cold air is misleading advertising.

the Injen intake isn't really a TRUE cold-air because of the shrouds, the rad, if you have headers you'll notice it gets REALLY hot near the intake and to make it true cold air you would have to suck it up and take the shroud off, wrap your headers, have your fans on hi-speed all the time and even still it wouldn't be that cold. I found after putting on my Injen it was a lot louder (even more so than my exhaust) and there was a lot of midrange power gain but ive never had place racing so i can't really compare.

You just have to be careful not to make it too low. You don't want any water getting sucked up into the engine.
