someone please tell my dad that with a short ram intake it will not suck up water and hydro lock, he won't let my brother put an intake on until he sees proof...thanks

Short ram wont, only one you have to worry about is cold air since they are mounted very low in the fenders.

Not only that but even with a CAI you would have to run into some real deep water (lake, ocean, flash flood) for it to suck it up.

how old is your brother that he needs permission to put a intake on a bone stock non vtec d15 engine in a piece of **** civic grocery getter anyways?

unless you drive through a 6 foot high wall of flood road, the sri, will not hydrolock.. I have a CAI and live in WA where it rains all the time and I've never had any problems..

Ive had problems with those ebay intakes when it rains alot
Water drops get sucked in and sometimes the car bogs and stalls

I can 100% guaruntee you that unless you drive your front end of your car into a lake, and intentionally try to suck up water, its pretty much impossible to do so, even under WOT and hitting puddles.


Shortram is actually shorter than stock too. It farther back than the stock airbox does. If anything, its safer, lol.

yep. so if you buy a $450,000,000 intake ...not from ebay, though...it will be completely waterproof.

You wont have any problems with your short ram. if the water was high enough to get sucked up into that, then your stock oem intake box would be flooded as well.

Only dumbasses who drive wrecklessly in the rain hydrolock.

Give me your dad's phone number, I'll talk to him all about it myself.
