Anyone with Cold Air Intake Problems????

Why is this so hard to comprehend for people.

Get the CAI, the bypass, and avoid puddles at all costs.

The bypass is for those unavoidable puddles and anything extra but it doesnt mean you can tread 5ft of water.

if your not sure then you maybe doubt your own driving abilities in which case id stick with a SRI.

They start around 200$ i think.

my cai cost 50 shipped.

It probably loses 2hp in comparison to an AEM unit.

50 vs 200+(aem v2) you choose.

get a CAI and make it like a snorkel like jeeps and hummers have, then you can go through puddles up to your windows with no trouble lol, i've driven in cb7's with CAI and my car has a short ram and the ONLY difference is a CAI is quiter than a short ram. a short ram has more of a growl/howl from under the hood, but its harder to hear a cold air intake.

Very true. AT BEST, a CAI will give you 1-2hp over a short ram... and that's in ideal conditions.

Bottom line... get a CAI for the bling factor only...
A serious NA build will use ITBs. A turbo build won't use a standard CAI (other than for charge piping... )

ITB's rules!!!!!

Yea of course....
but in my area some spots you cant avoid and they are sometimes deep...one time i was told i was seen during a rainy day at an intersection that was so deep there was no avoiding it and i was making a right turn and the water level was above the fog light space on my bumper, and from inside the car i saw almost half my wheel was under water. thats why im worried about it

Well i mean im not everyone but if i was in a similiar situation i would have parked the car....id rather swim home then replace a motor.

either put in a bypass valve for large puddles or just take off the bottom half and put your filter on the first 1/2 of your intake. cai owns
