Scared of getting a cold air intake...

[Jorge18]

I don't know, i'm just affraid of when it rains and there are a bunch of puddles of sucking up water and ####ing up my car. What do you guys think..does it happen a lot and what's the worst that can happen?

Unless you're completely submerging the filter, you will be fine. Hydrolocking with a CAI, is almost as overblown as every 7 bolt motor crankwalks. It's just not the epidemic it's made out to be.

When I had my integra I put a CAI in it... I was driving in the freeway and it was raining. I suddenly drove through a big ass puddle and the car shut off... I turned it back on and I saw a bunch of white smoke coming from my car, then it stopped smoking and everything was fine afterwards.

On the other hand, CAI, wouldn't do miracles for you. The colder the air, the better, but for NA car 5 more, or less HP wouldn't matter anyway.

throw it on...had one on my last 2 N/Ts and never had a problem...you will be over cautious for the first few weeks but after awhile you wont even think about it and you will just naturally avoid deep puddles...mine sits pretty low...maybe 5 6 inches off the ground..getting it wet isnt a problem at all...its submerging it and it sucking in water that is....Ive gone thru things i have thought i shouldnt and its still been fine...like i said after a couple of weeks you wont even think about it anymore

you shouldn't ever have a problem - unless you intend to drive through rivers and completely submerge the front end

Lmfao!

If you were to buy another one, just get ashort ram the difference is about .5 hp that you wont feel. Hydrolocking CAN happen.
