The stuff looks new because not that many people talk about this "filterskin" it really makes since though...for the cold air people as long as it doesnt restrict air flow... people should test this stuff they're only like 10-12$ =0)

on the subject of that damn wrap-around tubing from the intake to the filter... why not switch the filter & the battery? I know they make the small ultra-light batteries that you could put there rather easily.

I think that would cost more $$ after all is done, compared to that wrapper thing...

...honestly, is it THAT hard to run a short ram when the weather is wet, and run a cold air when it's nice and sunny? I mean yeah - certain places it may rain more than it's dry - in which case it would make perfect sense to use a short ram, but in places where the weather is predictable by season... it only takes a screwdriver and about 15 minutes to switch a CAI to a shortram (provided it's designed that way)... no buying air filter cover things, no extra $$ spent after paying for a CAI in the first place...

I should start selling waterproof stock airboxes LOL

Seriously though - you buy springs, you know the ride will be a little stiffer. You buy exhaust, you know the car will get louder. You buy a CAI, you definitely should know that you're gonna have to do something when the rain starts falling...

yeah if your car is mild (like all bolt ons) I know on the dyno a CAI makes more power but honestly, I can't feel the difference between short ram and CAI.
