Default Heavy breather questions

I just installed a heavy breather on my 2013 SG. I also put on the slotted cover. Do I still need to use the rain sock? Also, is there a cover for the electrical plug that is still showing? There was nothing in the kit but hey, for $500 bucks you can't have everything right? WTF

Thanks people

you don't need the sock unless raining, there is a black/chrome bracket you can buy seperate to cover the plug in 60 bucks

there are some folks who put the rain sock on their filter and then put the cover on over that. keeps you ready for rain, and also helps keep thieves from stealing your sock (it amazes me what people will steal nowadays)

I have an open AC, as long as you use a reusable filter which is oiled such as K&N, no need for an AC. Even when its raining hard, no issues.
