You can always add extra piping, but just dont make it long as the regular CAI. That way it'll be long enough to be away from the engine, but short enough to keep it from sucking up water.

that 500degree stuff is the same shit i used... worked pretty good just make sure you put on a few coats...
i did low gloss black on my TSX IM, might look pretty sweet if you painted your SRI tube black too
its gonna give you the paitning bug tho and your gonna end up painting your entire engine bay.. haha just warning you now

Yeah, painting the SRI tube black did come to mind. I think I'm going to do that. And yeah, I probably will end up painting everything, lol. I think I'm going to paint the manifold covers the same black, because they are starting to get a little faded. I wonder, would it be possible to paint the throttle body?

If I do paint it all black I'll definitely get some pics up. Lol, I bet K&N would void their warranty if I painted the tube black.

Wait hold on...are you installing this in the TSX??? There's no MAF sensor unless I'm totally off my rocker today.

Be careful with CAI's...If you find yourself in a flood situation, you can turn your engine into a paperweight surprisingly fast.

You could do some custom duct work if you could fabricate a catch to fit in front of the radiator.  If you can get that done, then run ducting to the filter and construct a box to seal off the intake from the rest of the engine bay.  You'll have no risk of hydrolock and you'll get the benefit of cooler air.

Timmy is correct, a bypass valve effectively negates having a cold air extension since the valve will open under WOT and suck in hot engine bay air.

It's really not that hard to do man.  Just buy extra clips on fleabay so you always have plenty on hand.

You can access the filter through the driver side wheel-well....pop off a few clips and a screw...pull back the plastic...and its right in front of you.

I hate taking off my front bumper too...seems like no matter how careful I am it gets a new scratch when I take it off.
