As for the risk of hydrolocking, people blow that way out of proportion. As Nail said, you'd have to submerge the entire filter to hydrolock your car.

+1 +1 +1 +1!!!!!! CAI'S ARE NOT MADE STRICTLY FOR DRY CLIMATES!!!! If you live in a place that regularly sees at least 1 foot of standing water, then and ONLY THEN would I recommend getting an SRI rather than a CAI. Do what Fiirkan, talon and others suggested, get an AEM (or whatever other brands offer it) CAI that will split apart at the middle. When winter months roll around, take off the CAI piece and use it as an SRI. Once spring comes, pop the CAI back on.

im with dj. bypass valves are teh gay. they more or less defeat the purpose of a CAI.

not all AEM CAIs are 2 peice. make sure you get one if you wanna convert to SRI for the winter.

oo wow. a car running at -20 degrees would have like 8 more horsepower than the same car at 70 degrees.

I heard if you have an intake in really cold weather it will suck up to much cold air and it could hurt the engine...so i'm just making sure before i look into getting one...

At that point I'd ditch my civic (which would be floating away) and buy a boat!

i dont think it would do anything. in fact most drag racers and some autox'ers, between runs, put dry ice on their filters to cool it off and allow cooler intake temps.

well, i couldn't find an elchipo slipt apart intake after i posted that.. and to be safe(since we do get flooding in the streets here) i got an SRI, only paid $40 for it including shipping, so it will probably only be temporairy until i get some actualy cash in my pocket again. then i will get an AEM intake and use that for the summer and the SRI for the winter.
