If the Brute pull from the fender then it's probably just as good, but the Brutes I've seen pull from the engine compartment which isn't good.
what do u mean pulls from the fender? sorry i don't no a lot about this stuff.
Meaning, does the air filter go inside the fender or does it stay in the engine bay? Here's a pic
See how the plate with the hole is going out of the engine bay to the inside of the fender?
Here you see the tube going into the hole. My wifes hands by the way.
This shot is laying on the ground looking up into the fender well.
Has anyone had any problems with water getting in their intake. Because I've heard a lot of people say that when you get a CAI, any water around it gets sucked in and it causes extreme problems. Also I have a 1998 Mustang and I see that my air filter is next to the fender, not inside of it. If I buy a CAI will the air filter go inside of the fender, or still be on the outside? And one last question, is the air filter completey surrounded by the fender, will any water get in? Thanks for any help, and sorry if I ask to many questions.

To answer this question once and for all, no, unless you plan on driving your car through a lake, or in our case, through a hurricane with water 8ft deep, you will not get water in you cai. Even if some does get in, it will evaporate before it ever reaches the engine.

Like penceman, I also have a 98 and you didnt answer his question about the location of the cai. The filter is located next to the fender, so will the fender have to be cut to make a hole for the cai?
And a question of my own: Does the MAC cai setup come with a good filter like K&N or whatever or with a junky one that will need replaced with a good one?
