Wai?

Some of you all might have seen the FB post, but I'll put it here too.

I recently hit something in the road that took out my fender liner on the drivers side, which would have left my CAI filter directly exposed to rain/water coming off of the tire. I didn't let it get wet, but I did move the filter into the engine compartment, and the next day, put a brand new Spectre cone filter on it. I cleaned the CAI filter, then put the filter and tube in the Bravada.

The difference is noticeable, between the locations for the filter in regards to sound and performance. But anyway, this is now more of a WAI now, isn't it?

I also noticed a difference in performance with the Bravada. On a closed road with permission, I took the Bravada there and held the pedal to the floor. At WOT, it pulls so much more than with the stock paper media filter.
