Outerwears Pre Filter

Any of you guys out there running the Outerwears prefilter on the Napa #2790 BHAF have any comments? Is it worth the money? Is it really water repellent? I have the BHAF but I don't realy like that it is completely exposed. Thanks!

I have one for my AFE CAI. I guess I bought it for the extra dust protection, it seems to catch quite a bit of dust. I usually just pull it off and rinse it out when it looks dusty. I guess for being under the hood and not "seeing" much water or very little during rain storms, it seems a little bit water resistant. Not going to help much if fording rivers or ponds.

I have the setup you are describing and it works fine. The reason that I run the prefilter is to prolong the life of the filter itself.

Good deal! I do not plan on forging any rivers or ponds. I never get my truck off road. A little extra protection is never a bad thing. I will probably order a prefilter and stick it on there. Any other brands you guys might recommend. I saw that Amsoil sells prefilters. Any experience with those? Thanks!
