When I clean my K&N it has a big black spot where that air hits it from the ram-air tube... I have driven this setup in pouring rain and never had a problem with water getting in the intake... One of these days I will redo it with steel pipe, it is kinda embrassing everytime my truck gets put on a lift...

Heck, I've just got flexible drain hose run for mine - doesn't embarrass me in the least. Actually I've had several postive comments! One thing I do want to do though is fab up a better scoop for the tow hook opening.
I don't know how much difference it really makes performance wise, but you can see a real difference on IATs. After parking for a bit I can easily have IATs in excess of 125. Before the tube it would take forever for the temps to drop back under 100 - now it's usually before I'm out of the parking lot.

Anyone have a pin hole drain in their ram tubing or do you not worry about any moisture. I guess as long as you always have some slope downwards you should be ok as it won't really be able to make its way all the way up the hose into the airbox.
