Also in regards to the throttle body spacer the intake sound is lessened in lighter throttle conditions (made it so it wasn't so obnoxious) also the throttle response became a lot smoother and powerful without the spacer because i think the bored tb and intake were sucking in more air while the spacer is sitting there trying to spin it but i think there was to much air for it...

The only thing they suggest is cleaning your cowl of snow before starting in winter but other than that the cowl has its own drains and the filter is under the covered side anyways
