Default Just installed aev snorkel!

hi all, i just installed the AEV snorkel on my 2 door rubi yesterday. install was very straight forward (as long as you have the right tools) and took me about 2 hours (had to let the silicone dry). i sealed the airbox using GE paintable silicone that i bought from home depot. ive heard alot of hype about silicone poisening to the MAF and O2 sensor due to the fumes. But ive driven it about 100 miles now and havent seen, heard, or noticed anything different about the way she drives. the one thing i dont like is the bird feeder pre-filter, sure it would be usefull if i lived in the outback. but here in hawaii....not so much. anyone know were i can order the ram air for this thing?

Funny, that's the main reason I want the AEV is becasue of that, but living in the desert it shoudl help. Kind of pointless in hawaii I would think. They should allow you to choose which one you want.
