The airhorn for the Comptech still seems to stick down a bit. How high is the stock location (relative to the alternatives)? I'm wondering if you are increasing the risk even by going with the Comptech.

Alternatively, how about when you remove the resonator (of course, you can replace the airfilter)? On my previous car, the stock "snorkel" inlet was way up at the top of the fender, and if you removed the resonator, it actually lowered the intake point by maybe a few inches. (Of course, if/when I get around to yanking the resonator out, I will probably see for myself, but I guess I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it to go with an aftermarket intake, or if just removing the resonator is good enough.)

Personally, I prefer either the stock airbox with a new filter (green or K&N) or some sort of short ram with a heat shield.
