has anyone have any problems with their CAI in the rain???

 

I'm kind of scared to put on a CAI on mine. My boy messed up his engine after a flood. The dealer wouldn't honor his warranty because the problem was due to the CAI. He didn't have a bypass valve though, so that was probably his only mistake. I think I'd stick with short ram though.

 

i dont have any problems with mine in the rain.

 

i asked rob about this when i ordered mine... he said leave the splash guard on underneath and just dont submerge the filter and you should be perfectly ok

 

so, the filter could get a little wet and be ok? because the rain gets through from the top where the cracks of the lights are

 

even if it gets wet it shouldnt really matter being that the filter is oil coated and repels the water thats why it must be submerged to suck up enough water to cause hydro lock...

 

No. I NEVER did when I had my piping on. NO ONE on the forums has siezed the engine in their Lancer and shared about it. If you take the time to look where the filter sits you'd realize how difficult it is to get any large amount of water in there without submerging the whole corner of the car. This has been asked and answered about a dozen times at least.

 

i was just getting ready to say that... everytime anyone on here brings up the cai... they always ask bout hydro lock... and the answer is always the same lol

 

oh, thanks

 

don't worry about getting you're cai it will hold it's own...I have one and so far so good over here just as long you don't submerge it.

 

Enough said!

 

I had an issue once. I was stupid and took my car through an automatic car wash with undercarriage wash. it caused the engine to bog. It dried off shortly and works fine. In the rain. No problem as long as you don't drive through deep puddles. I have the Injen intake.

 

Probelms with my CAI? That thing is just a straw for my bebe at our favorite watering hole. Cuz sometimes she just gets THIRSTY! Besides, the water helps rinse out your engine.
