are you saying you don't know how to put it back on?? it's a piece of cake! Just look at the box when you're placing it in the car and you'll see how everything lines up.

You hate rain....try living in Mobile. We compete with seattle for the rainiest city.

Like he said, just put it in and the few bolt holes line up. Depending on how hard you drive you car, you may not even need the bolts to hold it in.

Yah it is raining in sacramento, good thing too beacause Two days ago sac was filled with smoke, it was raining ash(not bad, but it was over my entire car in the morning).
But I like the rain to the degree that it helps me sleep, other than that it is a pain when I want to go out driving.

but alot of people dont understand is that you have to actually submerge the filter in order to actually cause any damage...

didn't say that... nobody did yet.... you can just get air to the filter easier... IMO cause i made a DIY ram air in the black air damn thing that forces air right to the filter...

Everyone is worrying about hydrolocking, you should worry about hyro/aquaplaning WAY before hydrolocking. And yes, the rain sucks when you drive/work in it. But, boy do we ever need it!

why is it that hydrolock is only a problem when the filter is completely submerged? wouldnt any amount of water being sucked in cause hydrolock?

You could also buy a bypass valve.

Negates the benefits of a CAI over a SRI.
