I have not done the filter yet... Are you going with the AEV hood as well? You should also check out River Raiders snorkel. I am huge fan of AEV... have a set of their rims. But esthetically I think the River Raider is a much better design.

I have the AEV ram-air, I havent noticed any better mpg, the power gain is minimal but still better than a cai and I havent sucked any water in yet

The AEV is still my preference, however the new River Raider design is pretty sharp.
