I used some standard rubber trim protector. And as for the shield if you get heavy rains the a lot of condensation will build and and yes you could suck water.

Btw I definitely see, feel, and hear a difference. I now have torque steer when launching in first, and the intake is louder. However it only seems to kick in in high rpms now instead of low rpms like with the SRI.
Is that normal or is there maybe a tube that's not sealed all the way?

[QUOTE=Chevy Cobalt 08;2868617]yes it was necessary. I'm getting mixed answers... i'm told i don't need the shield... blah
I shouldn't I didn't mess with the MAF
cause my car is 6 months old with only 2800 miles on it. lmao No I don't wash it.
There's no autozone. I purchased the parts from summit racing I can show you the receipt if you want proof.
That pisses me off cause now it just looks like some kinda custom intake...

louder? then you did something wrong, CAI almost ALWAYS sound quiter then a SRI. its just simple fact.
you intake is not V-TOK. its not that it doesnt kick in, its that a SRI general provides more "low end then high end" and a CAI generaly "more high end then low end" but for the most part, you wont see a difference, its all in your head.

"A harmless but noticeable result of using a short ram air intake is an increase in intake noise, which may manifest as a sucking sound, and the loss of any silencing properties that the factory intake had." -Wikipeida

CAI is gunna be louder than stock. The resonator is removed = louder. And unless you take off the inner fender cover, or you like to drive through rivers that are 1.5ft deep and deeper, a hydroshield is not a 100% necessity. I've always ran my Injen as a CAI and never had problems. Sure...it's good insurance, but not required.
