@cattalisxxx its considered cold air because of the technology that makes the air coolor than short ram, it installs like a short ram, and unlike the cold air, you will never hydro-lock your engine.
the cold air intake filter is put down below the engine in the front right bumper (passenger side). When you hit say a puddle of water, it will splash up and go INTO the intake, and in trurn into the engine, making it shut off and not work, causing you to crash if you can't handle it after that point. then the repair cost is complete shit (if your not a mechanic who can do it yourself). i wont even start to explain to fix it, there are online forums for that.....
@eg6100 Hydro-Lock is what happens when you fit a CAI then drive it in the rain. Water will get sucked in, and flood the cylinders. Because water doesn't compress AT ALL, it will force it's way out and destroy the engine.
If you get off the gas and on the clutch in time, you MIGHT be able to take the spark plugs out and pump it out using the starter motor. Else you're in for a new engine.
You really only haft to worry about it in extreme rain/flood conditions. The chances of you actually doing that is astronomical. You'd have to stop in a foot deep puddle with your car slammed. And then start up the car.
I had the cai and drove through rain that I couldn't see 3 ft infront of with a damn cwest bumper. And I was just fine.
the pwjdm intake outperforms the aem cai grunt wise, and beats out the aem short ram in the upper range, so i'd say just go get the powerchamber. don't gotta worry about rain and it looks really tight :-)
How did you make your Civic sound like that? Sound awesome mate!
