I have a question, i really want the FSWerks intake but to me it looks nothing like the Steeda "enclosure wise" and no more beneficial then popin' the top off the stocker and dropping in a K&N, i mean it looks like the same idea!

And pt.2, i bought an Outerwear for my K&N which i also ordered! Does it reduce flow a lot? I probably will only put it on when it rains or is in the snow but if it does not restrict a ton of air i would like to just leave it on and save the hassle of worrying if my filter is getting wet, which with the top off and the paper filter in the recent snow storm did get a little wet! Kinda freaked me out!! Lol just for reference i do have the snorkel delete with the flaps still in place! Idk about removing that piece in the rain and winter!

I leave my Outerwears on fulltime. I'm certain it still greatly outflows the OE filter.

Got the snorkel delete done, outerwears and the K&N in! The butt dyno approves! Still haven't "cut the flap" but I'm a little hesitant too!

Don't cut it, just pull it out.

I did the write up. It is "resistant" to pull out, but it came. No more than 10 minutes start to finish.
