Misunderstood the message at first, though you paid $55 for a scoop 
. But yeah a custom intake is the way to go. If mine didn't already have one, I would have made one. Made one for my V6(RIP) out of dryer hose and a K&N

well lots of stuff does get in there via the scoop, ask me how I know. Mine has slots at hte bottom to help drain water, but I imagine some gets in there anyway, I really doubt any would get into the engine, and the hi po filters such as K&N use water and solution to clean them, so it won't hurt them. Mine gets real gunky after 6 months, I mean so bad where you can't even see the pleats anymore
Its just on big pile of sludge, but it cleans out so no bother.

no, i made it so that i could close it up if it were to "pour" rain outside, and sealed it with rtv. I also put a screen on it to keep out big particles.

I should have made my own CAI. Oh well.
Out of curiosity, how do people feel a SOTP feel from CAI? I couldn't feel anythning until I did headers. And then the cam was even better. Your assmeters must be highly fine tuned.

And people make fun of my dryer duct hose......
It looks like I,m an innovator.
I think you are just kidding yourself if you think you can feel it.
I am pretty sure mine helps but I would be hard pressed to tell if was or was not on.
