Just wonderring how possible it was for an engine to lock up form sucking in to muc water or snow. I live in Ontario and have a cai on my crx. My car is very low to the ground and have heard that during the winter there is a good chance of the intake taking up to much snow and seizing. Would a panty hose over the fillter help a lot? I dont have the oem airbox

thanks

 

take it off... dont take the chance.
buy a used shot ram some where...
put it on

 

You pretty much have to submerse the intake to hydrolock the engine. Just avoid driving over deep puddles.
I live in WA, where it rains like crazy all the time and have been using a CAI for years, never had a problem.

 

Short Intake high in the engine bay= good.

 

i hydrolocked my car with out submerging it in a puddle it was actually like 6-8 inches above the puddle but it was raining so hard and i have no wheel well lining so i wouldnt risk it get a short ram.

key words " i have no wheel well lining

 

some cold air are two pieces and you can take the lower piece out and put the filter on the upper piece. if not yes definitly get a short ram

 

so would a panty hose make a difference on my aem intake? I wanna keep my intake, just want a way now that I can help prevent to much water or snow from getting in. Was thinking a panty hose would do it

Only if your intake plans to rob a bank!
