Mitch @ Protege5online.com can hook you up, it'll cost you $50.

I still have one for sale on the for sale page, if you don't mind a used one. Check it out here if you're interested.

its a waste of money....don't buy it.....that is unless you have taken your inner fender wells out and the filter is exposed....as it is....the filter is totally shielded where its installed...and NOTHING can splash onto it....and it certainly doesn't need a heat shield either.

don't buy it

The Injen CAI air filter is down in the fender in front of the front tire. The bodywork keeps anything from splashing up into it. Furthermore, there is very little space in there for a splash guard -- even less space to get a wrench up there to install it, unless you take your whole fender off.

I didn't know any of this when I bought my CAI, so I ended up with a splash guard that I don't use. Wanna buy mine?

It just struck me the other day how when I washed my car, the place where the Injen filter would be was wet. Would this affect anything, hosing the car, and then the filter getting wet? Also, might soaps or other chemicals harm the filter? I really don't wanna waste my money on any splash guards or heat shields or bypass valves.
