I got an SRI cause im paranoid about the hydro lock some people get from a cai. Today I noticed when I opened the hood there were some little pieces of ice condensation on my filter. Is there any chance of getting hydro lock from this once they melted, prolly less than a tablespoon of condensation on it. Should I bother switching back to stock airbox during winter?

My mechanic told me I should take it off during winter, but he is dumb he has told me a few other things that I know are obviously false.

 

ive got one on my winter car and its fine i woudn't worry about it too much if the buildup gets too big break some off

 

Are you driving through a lake? If not than good luck getting hydrolock, even with a CAI.

 

:P k, thanks, just wanted to make sure

 

hydro lock is overly feared...if you plan on driving thru lake size puddles then you should be worried and this is with a cai. sri are obviously in the engine bay so not enough water is going to be in the engine bay for the filter to be submerged unless again your driving thru lakes.
