Stock works fine for every day driving. If you want to get the cone filter and not worrying about the rain relocate the battery to the front truck then put a 45 off the intake manifold, then the maf then the filter up where the battery was. I just did an intake straight off the intake on my 20v swap. I'll be getting a little lexan shield to go overtop of it for when it rains. I might move my battery to the front and redo the intake like how I first said.

sice i live in cali it hardley rains if i just cover up the left vent with some sor of plastic right under the vent to keep the water from coming down bad or good idea this might sound childish but i love the way the filter looks trough the vent when u walk by it
