I doubt much people would, you can get a second hand old version of the intake for $150. Tough price to justify.
Didnt you have a APR intake? i wanted an IE but im on the iffy side due to water being sucked through the open filter
Yes, i had the APR intake. It was okay.
I love the IE intake sounds so awesome and looks badass, water being sucked up through the open filter is not a thing to worry about, i don't thing anyone has ever locked or damaged their engine doing that (here). With that reasoning you can suck up water through APR's intake also sure it'll be harder but the opening is enough for water to get through
Also the way the IE intake sits, its sealed when the hood is close, the only possible way i could thing that someone could suck up water is if they were driving around without fender liners and went into a semi deep puddle.
Trust me I had a carbonio and replaced it with the I.E. after it turned yellow and brittle. The I.E. has a Venturi design where it boosts the air flow. Filter on the IE is also easy to clean. And don't worry what people might tell you on the bracket for the I.E. intake. It's not an issue at all.
