Default Heater smells funny.

Hmm it was raining really hard today and I was driving home from work. I have a aem cai with no bypass...After a while, I decided to turn on the heater and it started to smell funny. I drove over a few puddles but didn't gas too much though. So I was wondering...where that smell comes from, and it wouldn't be because my cai is taking in water is it?

The CAI has nothing to do with you heater. Your air conditioner drain tube may be clogged, which allows for water to accumulate. Did any water get on your floor?

How funny is the smell, did you laugh really hard or just a smile, lol I'm j/k man, take it to a shop and get it flush but make sure they flush it and not just drain and refill, or maybe the drain tube is clogged like dogginator said or the heated core is clogged

If the AC drain tube is clogged rain can enter the cowl and flood the evaporator box. This will cause water to spill onto the floor. The drain hose is located behind the passenger side front wheel. A little suction (turkey baster) is usually enough to clear the tube.
