What do you think about the JMB Fenderwell Intake? good or not? does it get enough air to it? does anyone here have it?

FWI are great. They keep much cooler temperatures and help your car run well.

The only problem is that some of them have to deal with water. I.E. try not to drive through puddles and during massive rain storms.

I had an AEM FWI on my 03 Cavalier...it worked GREAT, and I never had a problem with water. For that particlular intake, I could by bypass valve if I wanted for like $40 bucks, that way if it started to suck water, the bypass valve would prevent it from harming the engine.

Go for it, just make sure no water can make its way up there.
