ok this thing is cheesing me off. It proving to be extremely difficult to refit the plate back into its housing..any tricks you guys use? I already bent it and hammered it back into shape triyng to get it in. now i gotta get it back out becuase the holes arent aligned!

I haven't had to take mine apart yet.

What is it and where did you get it please?? I could almost see that as a semi permanent option for charge piping for an intercooler. Granted, you corrogations arent' the best for flow but hey, it would be easy to route.

Does water get into the cowl intake set-up? I have been considering that but... It rains almost 300 out of 365 days here :rotflmao

Most users haven't had problems with water in the intake at all from what I've seen. Just have to make sure the cowl drains are working well. Quick test by running a water hose into the cowl and seeing if it drains fast or not.

I have been running my cowl intake for four years and never had an issue with rain or snow.

On mine I did drill a 1/4" hole right in the bottom of the filter housing (lowest point obviously). Just in case something would get in. I doubt it would ever happen tho.
