Up if you can get a good cold air feed,
Down if you cant and dont drive through many deep puddles  But dont put it down behind the radiator as it gets very hot down there |

You'll never hit a puddle to cause any air intake to suck up too much water. But, I like the "up" kind. Short = better response. And it's easier when you work on the car to yank it out of there. I got tired of taking the intire cold air system out every time I worked on the motor.

I went with a combo....
 The cold air seemed to be better but I was afraid of puddles, didn't like having to go under the car to check/change filter, it came loose once and started scraping the hole I widened.. and it looks more "showy" to have it out... -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
