Default Philly guys, do you run a CAI?

Hay guys,

I did the searching but I need a more specific answer and info, all I got was a lot of "hydrolock ftw" answers which don't help.

I got a nismo intake, I didn't install it yet, just want to make sure before I put it in that everything is going to be ok, I don't want to be the only idiot in the philly area running a cai knowing how our weather is.

I am wondering how many people here (in the philly area) run a CAI, with what issues and for how long?

thanks in advance.

you'll be fine...besides the nismo has the bypass valve to protect against water getting sucked into the
engine.

hahahahahaha. I've owned cars with CAI's for a good while now, but from what I read people are psycho when it comes to hydrolock. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.

I live in NE but travel to South everyday.
