If i remember it right the "R" is the important part of the number they work in reverse of most of the wipers. Massey explained it better a few months ago. Many stores do not carry the right blades and a few manufacture have blades listed in their books that will not work. I had a ton of issue until I got the right blades. Its all good now.

Exactly! Used to drive me nutty until I figured this out...

LMFAO you have the same exact cold air intake as me and I put it in the same spot, but I also have the intake elbow. Anyways, I probably isn't sucking in water because I have a ram air hood that is functional and my cone is right there and not even I suck water in. It's something else.

I doubt you're sucking water, and am unsure that is even much better than the stock setup. The SLP CAI for the older Camaros breaks off into twin tubes and the filters are below the metal housing where your current filter sits...

Im sorry I had to laugh when I read this. I can totally see this happening lol. From the research I've put into it, (
) you can use the wiper arms off a 98-02 model and it will bolt right on, that allows other wiper blades to work besides the GM brand. However, doing this the blades won't set perfectly on the window and just look a little off. To fix that you need to buy the wiper linkages for the 98-02 model as well. I think your best bet would be to hit your local scrapyard for those. I seen a set of everything for maybe $200 on ebay a while back. At the moment I am just using rain-x though. NO mods, just doesn't clean the windshield perfectly. Does it just enough for me to see.
