I live in Florida so when it rains, it pours. Seeing how I have an auto RA and the Injen intake hangs way low, should I get a SRI or convert the Injen to SRI to make sure it's outta the rain?

 

I would go SRI (also in FL) but that's just me.

 

You can do CAI, like I did, just use a AEM bypass with it. Where I live (Michigan) the roads flood all the time, and I haven't had any water problems with my engine.

 

I have the injen CAI. Today I drove in quite a bit of rain and large puddles for about 2 1/2 hours....long story short, got home and checked my filter and it was dry. I have the heat shield installed on it aswell to help cover the filter and protect it from water below. I also kept my splash guards on, except for one vertical piece that the instructions say to cut a hole in. Unless you plan on driving in water up to your headlights, your probably fine, and you don't need the AEM bipass.

 

I get a lot of rain in RI, but not a lot of puddles. Would I be alright with the RRM CAI or am i better off with the injen w/ the bypass?

 

Also, does the CAI void the warranty or will I have to switch it out before I go to the dealership?

 

it depends how picky your dealership is. i would have to say be safe and put the airbox back in when u taking it in for any type of maintance.

 

What does the AEM bypass do? I have seen quite a few threads mentioning it's use but no one has yet explained what it does. I understand the word bypass so I guess I am looking for a more graphic description of what the part does and how it does it. Thanks.

 

Keeps water from getting in the engine from the Intake. Lots of water in intake = big problem
