Re: It's raining and I have CAI
Snow is no problem with CAI, snow doesnt go inside the hood, it just glides over the car when you drive...as if your car is in a wind-tunnel...CAI will always be better than stock in any temperature weather because there is much less air-restriction

Re: It's raining and I have CAI
BlackV35Skyline: "Should i be concerned about having water enter my engine on the G35 Coupe. The cone filter is about 6-9 inches off the ground. Im really confused as i have been told not to worry. And i have also been told that i should buy the AEM Bypass Valve.
Also, if i do decide to put on a AEM Bypass Valve, do you think that the valve will take away some performance??
Response from Injen: " The most common way for water to enter the engine is for the filter to be entirely submerged. The length the water would then have to travel, significantly reduces the possibility of harm being done. You will need to drive through water levels up to the middle of your front bumper to get the filter under water. If you do encounter water levels that high, then I suggest you do not drive through it. With our cold air intake system, driving through rainstorms will not effect its performance.

Re: It's raining and I have CAI
I am not worry about hydrolocking the car anymore with the CAI
What I will do is get my friend to build me a mesh guard around the front & bottom of the CAI to keep the stone & bugs out of the filter
Still waiting for my 6000k HID bulbs so that I can do the installation at the same time.
