It's high enough in the engine compartment that it doesn't affect it. 1 year with a K&N replacement and 2 1/2 years with the K&N CAI I haven't had any problems with it sucking in water. I do love to make a splash every chance I get too.

Not really and they do make a water shield that you can slip over the conical part of the filter if you get the whole kit with the high flow filter head. It looks like a blue hair net kinda thing with an elasticised base to secure it. Wont protect from a total immersion but if the water is that high then you have more problems than the filter!

Love my Corsa exhaust...dunno if they have it for the 5.0 yet. Not obnoxious like the Flowmasters (I know I know personal opinion, sue me) and at idle or road speed no drone, but when you hit it she roars.

I like the level but honestly if I could afford it I would be rockin the 4" Rancho or 6" BDS, wish I had saved what I spent on the level and saved some more for the full lift, I bought new BFGs anyway so the rubber expenditure would have been negated and I could be rollin on 35s with new rims with the 4" lift...

I found the tuner not to be worth it, got no real performance gains I could use and the attempt left me with LOUD knock, the trans shift points were awesome improvements but I couldnt justify $400 for a trans tune...

Do not believe the Raptor flares fit on the standard vehicle, I think I saw a post the you have to go whole hog and get the hood, grille and flareas to make it all work from a guy who did the conversion. One of the site sponsors I think they are called EVS Motors did a demo conversion too...

And you cant go wrong with Wet Okole, they even make one that carries my Sig Sauer P220R in the seat between my legs to the front. Only reason I havent gotten some is that I like my leather heated seats that came with the FX4 Luxury package.

And remember since the above is my opionion, opinions are like ***holes, everybody has one and you may think mine stinks but its mine and I am kinda attached to it!
