Only thing about the AEM intake is where it sits, On N.Ireland roads rain is almost an everyday thing as the sun is a foreign object in our skys Id be seriously concerned about hydrolock even though its an off chance of it happening.
I currently have the typhoon in my car (due to no choice of my own, previous owner put it in) it does sound good in vtec but i'm also certain that you lose power due to the location of a open cone filter its just going to be hit by heat soak
It may sound good now but wait until you put that GM on .
