I just curious as to everyone opinion on cold air intakes. IM thinking about removing mine because today we had a hell of rainstorm. Next things u know i hit a huge puddle and my car dies. Luckily (unlike my friend who engine went boom the same way) i didnt suck up much water and jsut had to deal with a bit of light grey smoke for a few mins. Any suggestion on something what would be well safer are welcome.

P.s. If there has already been a thread on this pls forgive me.

Crap wrong section of the forums. *begins to flame himself*

 

somthing tells me u didnt even bother to search.... cut your cold air into a short ram. the end

 

its this easy, put it on when theres no rain, and put the stock one when there is rain.

 

Get a Bypass valve!

 

if you really want to use CAI. get a bypass valve. but again that doesn t really do **** cuz your filter has to be fully submerged in the water for it to work

or get a nice intake system. like mugen and not worry about it. or use stock or cut your cai and make it a short ram or get a j's racing/ password whale male part

Same here, but for 5 yrs and never once had a problem, I bet these guys go through low water crossings all the time in vtec.
