hey guys, i heard the injen cai requires a hydroshield in order to drive worry free from snow and water. i went on ptuning according to Finestsoldier. but they have 2 diferent ones for different sized pipes. am i suppose to get a 3.5" or smaller?

is there any other site i can get it from?

 

i got mine directly from them, like 3 years ago, lol if i can find it I will give you one of my red ones, lol to be honest, I think they are no different then a 2 dollar DO-RAG for the head. lol

 

how much does the CAI intake from injen costs anyways?

 

look it up lazy.. its around $312

 

$296 shipped from ptuning.com

 

not anymore.. that sale ended like 2 weeks ago

 

if you can get me that red one, that would be awsome.

rontam (TLC member) told me that if you accidentally run into a puddle of water or snow, the intake will suck in the water to ur engine and ur engine will be GG.

i dun wanna risk it

 

It's not if you drive over a puddle. It's if you drive your car INTO a puddle. For anything to go wrong with your motor, the CAI filter (and pretty much everything below your bumpers) would have to be underwater. Pretty rare.

Now, driving through rain and slush will seriously crud up your filter, which is going to hurt airflow through it. But that's different.

 

so whats the cheapest you guys paid for the injen CAI?

 

thanks sheep, you helped alot.

at least i dont have to worry THAT much about it. but i guess buyin a hydroshield is still better than not having one at all right?

 

yeah i would totally get a hydroshield if i was to get a cold air intake. i used to have one on my eclipse and the filter would quickly get covered in stuff and rust from the water that got on it so that kinda got me away from getting one on my 08. im just going to wait for the RRM V2 to come out and get that. but if your getting the injen CAI then def get the hydroshield and personally i would wash it weekly or monthly just to keep the dirt off of it so it flows better.

 

Go to www.speedcorps.com for the injen intake and hydroshield

 

Yes, it's definitely better than not having one. One slushy Winter day, I majorly f***ed up my CAI filter. By the time I got home, it had a 1/2 inch layer of ice on it. Luckily, it was a cleanable filter, so I didn't have to replace it.

 

lol luck you sheep.

anyways i just bout the hydroshield from speedcorps. gonna wiat for it to come and then install my intake.

cant waittt

 

i would love to get the injen cai but it always floods by my house so im not taking the chance has any one purchased the secret weapon or heard anything about it?
