hey guys i got the 1985 injen CAI on my car right now
i recently got a new lip and another oem bumper with the grille cut off
it got me thinking as i drove home in light showers, isnt where the filter located unsafe?
i mean grille or not, if theres a huge *** puddle and someone beside me driving gunned it and the water splashed on the front bumper, theoretically, its over right?

 

Theoretically, yes!

 

here ya go bro read post number #15.i got the sam my post is just above that.like he says as long as your filter is not submerge.you can also get a air filter bypass.

If you have concerns about ingesting water into the motor get a different intake.

 

get a bypass valve if you want to keep your intake but not worry about hydro-locking your engine.

+1...if u still feel unsafe (eventhough you shouldn't) just get an adapter plate at an auto store and use a SRi design. All of my friends have got CAI's...in different cars 1 including a Z (with no problems) and well none have problems except for one...he has a Celica...and well he drove Kamakizied into a enourmous puddle (GF demanded ...with water levels the begining of his CF hood) his CAI took in the water

 

i have the 1986 version...no problems here

 

just keep it short ram like most injen owners do
