Default will AEM CAI suck up water?

will AEM CAI suck up water easier?
since the filter thingy faces down will it suck up water if u drive over a puddle or something? what about when you drive over thick snow like we have here in canada during winter?

yes it will be unsafe but you should be fine if you avoid deep puddles and mountains of snow.

common sence is the answer to this question. I have the AEM on my ITR, and i drive when it rains, some times upwards to 100 miles a day (thats if its raining and i gotta go to school). Just avoid big puddles, floods, (that sounds funny ) and be safe. Dont drive fast, and press down the gas pedal down like your in a race and you should be fine. Use some common sence and nothing to worry about

well.. i see everyone here uses AEM ...which faces down...
is there any one other CAIs that dont face down and is as good as AEM?
or should i just skip it all together and get a JDM 4-1 header instead?

Actually the AEM faces to the right. I would rather get a JDM 4-1 header first. Then a comptech or AEM and then exhaust.

Get an Injen CAI. It's a 2 piece unit and you can switch back to a short ram in those "crappy weather" months.

You need to be a good boy and not post fucken BS like that guy's post about "bad news about integras..." WTF was he thinking.

So far you're off to a better start, but this post is a newbie Q for sure.
