HAHA! she lives in the Bay area of Cali guys, hasnt been enough snow in this area in the last 50 years to clog up an air filter.
This is where that quote "When h*ll freezes over" comes into play where h*ll=Cali right? J/k! It's beautiful there...just h*ll for car owners!!!

my friend had a cold air intake and when it rained he went through a puddle and it sucked up the water and siezed up his motor it would probably be best just to use the down pipping part only when you race

^haha. Lake Superior. And Cali is hell for car owners, only when it comes to commuting. IMO. The weather here is mild, with the exception of like Tahoe, Big Bear, and Shasta. The freeways arent bad... at 2am (usually, although one night when leaving a club in SF at around 3am, 80 was completely stopped traffic. It was ridiculous. Took almost 2 freakin hours just to get back to Pleasanton. (Normally like a 30min drive from where we were at).
And yea, Remmy I remember that. Thats a good idea. If I keep the Si, maybe Ill convert to that.

It's possible, I suppose.. Bust most CAI's won't suck any water up unless the filter is completely submerged in water.
