Question about CAI possibly getting wet...
i just put in my new custom CAI and its flush with the botom of the car. if i look level at the bottom of the from the front of the car to he back of it i can see about a 1/2 inch- 1/4 inch of the bottom of the filter im guessing thats how everyones CAI came out... ok my question is... is it to low and in the way of getting wet? if so how can i prevent it from getting wet? or is i going to be ok? someone please answer me before it rains again here. im a nervous wreck about this.
be careful during the hard rain~
It rain hard here in nebraska few days ago...and it flooded a little bit....like 6 inches.....and I was speeding(cause I like the feeling...like riding a boat with water splashing both sides of your car~~~) and then suddenly after 5 min of boat ride~ my car stopped..engine died.......later I found out water spalahed too much inside the engine room and my filter were soaked.....I don't even have cai......I don't know how much rain the filter can withstand but I don't even have cai and my car died....took me like 10 min to start the car again. I can't be sure that it was my filter but I don't think water could of gone in through my exhaust......anyway....in my case...filter weren't as forgiving as others....so becareful during rain with cai.

So you have a short ram or just a MAS adapter with cone filter? It's possible that the filter was so wet that not enough air was going through to keep the engine running.
