It does NOT prevent hot air from the radiator from entering the intake, and it does not prevent rain from entering at the leading edge of the hood and soaking the exposed filter.

People looking for a good quality performance intake should NOT buy the K&N Short Ram. For new members, I have two threads full of personal research on the K&N system, and a "war" with K&N. BAD QUALITY!!!.

1. k&n typhoon short ram intake $235.00 on nopi.com

(copied from k&n's site)
Built for performance and show, the Typhoon™ Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Some Typhoon's have high quality finish options including polished aluminum (part ends with TP), powder coated blue (part ends in TB), powder coated red (part ends in TR), and powder coated silver (ends in TS) among others. K&N intake systems replace your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction allowing more air flow to your engine. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range.

**if you havent already seen the threads about it, dont buy this intake!!!**

i guess i should have made it bold and bigger. but thanks for the input, the last thing any one with a fit deserves is a k&n intake. but then again, if people did their research and read through threads like they should then every one who has looked for intake advice on this forum should know not to buy k&n's intake.
