i agree with josh with the water issue... as added note, if you decide to install the scoops you can also place it somewhat indirectly from the intake filters to have more confidence that it would not get water damage or get extremely soaked...  however, after rethinking about the location of the filter in relation to the front fascia/bumper and chassis/foam, imo it will actually suck air from underneath the car or the air coming off the asphalt that is bouncing off the radiator... i cant find anywhere other paths the cold air can come in at...as such, i am thinking that if it is hot outside/at the track, this CAI will actually not be sucking cold air in... which kind of goes against what josh is saying and gives more reason to get the scoops... my problem with this is that i dont like the scoops... so i think if stillen is in development of a front fascia body kit for the z... i think they should put in consideration to establishing better in flow coming from the top of the car/bumper... with that, i believe the 15-20hp gains will be easier to foresee... ( OORRRR ... just take out the foam that is blocking the air... but am no mechanic/engineer, which means i am not quite sure what the impact would be to the car)... ... all this thoughts will probably be answered after SEMTEX's dyno results... -Semtex, just in case my thoughts hold water... i think you should bring your shotgun and use it to put holes on your bumper and re-dyno the car...
