Default DarIntake.. yes or no?
I've only heard good things about the DarIntake mod, and I am considering doing it soon, the only thing that worries me is the fact that you are potentially ****ed everytime you drive through puddles. There are some times when it is unavoidable to skirt a puddle, and sometimes they are deeper than you think... Is it worth doing this mod? How bad are the risks of getting water into the airbox?

youll be sucking a great deal of hot air, prolly losing hp instead of gaining... just a thought... idk.

It's a must for stage 3, not a huge benefit on K03s. Ive never had a problem w/ water

Default they MAY be better if you find a way to shroud off the hot air...
idk though... if youre happy with it thats all that matters...
