I say just keep it stock. Seems like you're in an area where you see a lot of rain. Why take the risk? IMO it's worth it for few ponies and a lil growl.

Just my .02

Went to that place that put in my cai in and I explained to them what happend and they where going to put my stock ones back in.

But first they took off the mfa sensors one of them was wet a thiny bit. So we ended up jet drying it reseting the codes and the car is back to its normal self.

I did end up ordering two hydrosheilds and they will be here tommorow. So hopefully I wont have to deal with this problem again.
nice!

Glad to hear that your car is working again.

But trying to have Infiniti fix this is morally incorrect. If you're going to modify your car, than expect to face the consequences. I hope that Infiniti is smart enough to catch these types of incidents and never fix it. I bet these claims just makes the rest of us pay more for these cars...

Sounds good! Hopefully that will be the end of it. Unless you went through a huge flooded area, I wouldn't think you could get hydrolocked with an Injen.

Morally incorrect? Ill pay more for my car if I know I can take my car back to infiniti and not get hassled or BSed by every service agent trying to save Infimiti a few bucks. If bad experiences at a dealership were much more infrequent then I may agree with you but the fact of the matter is Infiniti will try and take advantage of its customers in service just as much as we try and take advantage of them. Its an equal game and my moral compass gets shut off the minute I feel my $40,000 investment is threatened.

You didn't rip them off at all. You ripped off another customer.

I'm reading along and I'm saying to myself, how the hell could you get water in the engine with a CAI. The filter literrally has to be submergered in water for that to occur. Then I came across the wet MAF sensor post.

was gonna say its a maf but its hard to understand what you are typing as im guessing english isn't your first language, mine neither, but what i got is that your car wouldn't rev past 3k rpms and wont idle which is the maf and that it was. Try not to drive through puddles lol

Right... but someone else is destined to buy that car... and inherit your problems. That's all I'm saying man. We're good.
