Injen CAI + Rainy Weather

I have the Injen CAI, somebody told me I should be careful when I'm driving in the rain. Should I be worried guys? What kind of trouble could I potenially be running into.

Yeah, be careful if you're driving in a downpour and avoid high waters. If too much moisture gets in, a nuclear reaction could occur within your engine. Say good-bye to your G... and your city.

water could get into your engine, but the rain has to be pretty bad and you have to do some flood travelling

ive probably hit 6-10" with my Injen CAI, no problems, of course i was pulling over in the rain every now and then to be sure my baby was doing ok! everything was fine, the filter was a little wet but after about 30 minutes in the garage the heat dried it off and no problems

simple.. your engine gets air... how your engine makes power is by compressing air and using heat (spark and fuel) to expand the air creating power to spin the wheels..

now if you suck up a little water.. okey ur fine it'll turn into vapor no biggie.. now if u suck up too much water your engine is no longer compressing air but creating a hydrualic system that'll grenade your motor.. all valves are sealed and waters locked in the cylinder + pressure =....
