okay so this might be a stupid question, but i want closure to a topic im not quite confident in my awnser to. I'd love to put an air intake on my truck for the sound and mpg increase(prolly k&n because that seems like the best product out there from those ive asked) however, i enjoy off roading and or mud bogging, and im curious, is it a good idea to have an air intake if i plan to go mud boggin?

all advice/help is appreciated. thanks!

a short ram intake should be fine but id stay away from a full cai, that will just relocate the filter towards the bottom of your engine bay making it easier to hydrolock-if the filter becomes completly submerged in water/mud it will suck that into the engine and thats no bueno

would doing the gotts mod completely(unless its submerged in water) rid me of the worry of sucking mud/water into the engine?

do the gotts mod you wont have anyproblems...

idk something abt it makes me thing it will be easier to get mud up in there...

its no easier than not doing it... the stock location is probably the best bet. doing a cai u run the risk of sucking in water big time. look at the underside of ur hood (if you`ve gone already) bet there water marks and mudd on it... a cold air will get covered in that. just my .02$

but isnt the stock intake in the fender, and mud from ur tires slings directly towards the fender...

if you get one that doesnt go too far down you should be good. Go with aFe they mae great stuff!

the air actually comes in from the grill area and stuff plus u got the inner fender well... my filter stays 100% dry havent had a problem at all
