Those that removed the splash guard inside
Since my car no longer sees rain and such I was thinking of leaving off the splash guard under the car so my CAI could possibly function more efficiently.
I was just wondering if anyone has done this and actually seen any improvement and had any problems with the splash guard removed

I just opened a big wedge shape in mine with a dremel tool so it sorta scoops the air into the hole.
Seems to work fine.
Working on a shield to protect the K&N filter so water doesn't hit it but not hurt the airflow.

just rig up a chicken wire shield and put plastic over part of it (where u can draw a line straight from the hole to the filter, so the air flows around it but the water gets deflected down, just use the chicken wire as a net and block off a specific portion, the wire wont effect anything, actually might block leaves/paper

Has anyone seen any gains at the track from doing this?

I've had mine off for a year now. It makes the filter easy to remove at the track. I didn't feel a SOTP difference by just removing the shield, but it should be worth some hp by removing the filter at the track. JMO.
