I have a heat shield for my KKM and in the summer with the AC running my car gets real sluggish if it sits and idles for any length of time once the engine warms up.

The extension allows the engine to pull air from below the engine bay where the air is alot cooler.

However, if you drive you car year round I'd be a little leary about leaving it in place in the winter becasue of the possibility of getting ice build up on the filter or getting dirty extra fast when the roads dry out after a snow strom and there's still alot of sand on the street.



The extension is designed to place the filter inside the wheelwell, outside of the engine bay. It is very well protected from splash, and draws the coolest possible air. Only way you'd flood it is if you tried to drive over a flooded roadway, which you shouldn't do anyway.
