Default PPE Air Box Mod

Has anyone modified the factory air box as shown by PPE? I wonder if there are any water issues.

PPE had a write up on their site for this but I can't find the link right now but this is basically the same thing.

Well, I did the mod and it appears to be working! I did not do the mod exactly like the way PPE showed it!

Alot of people do it with good results. There is nothing wrong with factory air intake of the duramax. Cheap alternative to "cold" air intake.
