<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(tonivegas82)</div><div class='quotemain'>Hey guys. After searching various posts on this site and researching throughout the net, I'm still undecided and skeptical about installing a CAI. I'm reading conflicting info in regards to the risk of hydrolocking- some say a by pass valve is needed, others say its a waste of $$$, and also others say the lack of one caused their engine to seize. I just want to know if there was anyone on this board who has ever had a CAI cause their engine to hydrolock? Also how many are using a CAI w/o heatshield, BPV, etc. ? I'm planning on getting an AEM or Injen RD CAI, btw. Thanks guys.</div>
I have only heared of one Galant ever hydrolocking this entire time we have had this board. It wasn't due to a CAI either though. He did the flip box mod for his air intake. He was riding on bags and one blew. Parked his car in some parking lot and because he had the VIS EVO style hood the rain collected in the air box through the vent. He didn't notice it and when he finally went back to his car and started it. It hydrolocked on him. He just dryed it out and the engine was fine. This was the only time I have ever heared of a Galant hydrolocking.
