Injen TechnologyX-1034BLK Black Hydro-Shield Pre-Filter

Bought this for X-1018-BR 4.5" Injen Air Filter to put on a 1996 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. Great fit, looks amazing, and works phenomenally. Already drove through rain and when I popped the hood in the garage, this shield had stopped some mud and particles from getting into my filter. Just takes 2 minutes to take it off and rinse, then pat dry with a towel and reinstall.Highly recommend getting one for any performance vehicle or for a great tuneup!

I now have these on 3 different cars/sizes.Some CAI’s can get incredibly sketchy running so close to the ground. The last thing you want is to be left stranded because of hydrolock. No, you can’t drive through a massive puddle with this, but it does what it is supposed to do when roads are wet. Never run a filter without one of these.

Great product overall, just be careful when installing these as they're pretty thin but functions like its suppose to. Remember these are water resistance, NOT waterproof! These help keep water from being absorb into your intake filters but also helps keep them clean longer.

As the title states. I have an older universal K&N RP-something universal air filter that I hooked up to my cold air intake in my 2002 Honda Accord V6. The filter sits right in front of my driver side wheel well fender lining and right above the under tray. There's cutouts everywhere in the under tray of course, and rain where I live can get nasty every few years, so this was my best bet for now because it's nearly spring. I still have to avoid/dodge big water puddles like people with lowered cars have to dodge speed bumps! Testing my luck at the moment. I was planning to find hydrophobic spray to spray onto the filter, but I was concerned that it might clog up the pores in the filter for proper ventilation, so I didn't follow through with doing that...

Bought this because I cut a hole in my hood and poped the air intake through it. I also live in the Pacific northwest where it rains a LOT. So naturally I needed something for the rain. Bought this on a whim, and was pleased with it. Holds it own against the elements, rain just beads off.I store my car outside as well and remember I put my intake on my hood so. Overnight when it rains it does slightly bead through onto the metallic parts on my intake. I just put a plastic bag on it overnight. I've never had an issue to where it truly affects my performance.Overall? Worth it.ONE YEAR REVIEWLately I've been doing a lot of driving and camping. The sleeve has a lot of wear and tear but still on the filter and keeping it clean mostly. I will be purchasing this sleeve again in the future.

Works amazing. Helps the air intake not take in any water when it rains.Looks greatsFits perfect over the intake filter

I ordered this product for my Dodge Dart's cold air intake. I washed the car and drove it around, and popped the hood to see if it kept the filter dry. I tapped the base of the filter and there was a puddle of water on the inside of the hydro shield. The water clings to the hydro shield, and the motor slowly draws the water into the area between the filter and the shield. Since it's "hydrophobic" the water will just puddle up at the bottom. Thank god I noticed it before I drove my car through a rain storm. I'm returning this before it hydrolocks my engine. I will never buy another Injen product again, I've had bad experiences with them in the past and this was the final straw! Avoid this company at all cost!!

Added security of water resistance to protect filter and keeps pleats free of large debris which shortens cleaning time and prevents possible fabric damage, plus it looks better than pictured too with a vertical red Injen logo stitched into the fabric instead of the horizontal hydroshield logo that's pictured. The stitched logo is not identical to but it similarly matches the Injen logo that's on the SRI.One minor issue is that the stitched logo is solid and likely blocks airflow to the two pleats that it sits over vertically. I'd prefer the logo to be painted onto the fabric in the same manner as pictured for no air restriction whatsoever.

Went on very easy with the elastic on the top to hold it in place and now I do not have to worry about water getting in my intake.

amazing works great!

Very fast shipping. Not sure if t will work or not in keeping out water. Ends are held onto filter by elastic. Not sure if it will hold up to multiple years of hot and cold temperature.

Good product, well made. Very tight specs, no spare room for mis measurements.
