snow??? cold air intake???

[DirtyRussian]

so here i go....i get off work at around 9ish and BAM there is like 3 inches of snow and it is still snowing pretty hard (chicago)....so i have a cold air intake installed and i am not dropped....kinda worries me that the snow can get into intake and hydro lock occurring...should i switch to short ram for the winter or keep CAI? .... i was sooo worried driving home....

with snow i dont think you really have 2 worry about... i have a CAI and i took out my lowering spring set up temporariily cuz of snow so im not lowered at the moment and i have no problem at all.. make sure ur splash shield is in place and ur good... u can take it out if u want but you dont have 2

You have nothing to worry about.

Though I would be impressed if you somehow managed to suck in snow through a filter. Slush too.

on my old car it got CAI and i drove it in the snow alot of times..the car was drop also..nothing happen..its the pond of water you got to worry about...

You should be fine in the snow.
But what about whe nthe snow melts are you drive through puddles of water/slush/ice

Personally, I don't se a purpose of having a CAI in cold weather

i think i'll be fine driving through puddles...it rained pretty hard during summer and i had to go through about half of foot of water and i seriously though that was going to be it for my accord....however, i have one of those air bypass valves...and i think it saved my accord...so i should be fine with puddles....and having a CAI in cold weather is pretty pointless...it is just i am kinda lazy to switch over to short ram right now because of the weather....freaken cold...freaken snow

as long as you drive with common sense you'll never have to worry about hydro-lock. when I lived in Mass and had to deal with lots of snow and rain I never hydro-locked. just don't drive into any lake sized puddles and you'll be fine.
