I'm looking into getting a CAI set-up for my car, my question is driveability. I know the gains are good for a bolt on, but I drive my car everyday rain or shine. Will wet weather affect this setup?

 

I have a SLP CAI and its been on there for almost 2 years with no problems driving rain or shine.
Very good investment.

 

I have run mine through heavy rain with no problems. I took the splash guard off to get more air to it and I've never had a problem. You could leave the splash guard in place if you were worried though.

Yea, therea re definitely no problems at all. I used to have the SLP CAI before my SS setup and I never had a problem with it. I would just be careful when removing the splashguard if you remove it..I know a few people that water logged their motors because of that, but there are also others that have no problems...so you could be one of the lucky ones

Other than that no problems at all with everyday drivability

 

Thanks for the input guys. I'll get one this weekend.

 

Don't remove the splash guard. If you look around the area that the air gets pulled from, you will see that it is not the restrictive part of the intake. You could actually hurt performance, depending on where you cut out the splashguard.

Plus, the risk of water damage is high. It only takes one freak storm or puddle.

How could remvoing the splash guard hurt performance? JW

 

If you just cut out the back, you will can actually create a vacuum as high velocity air (while car is moving)flows past the box. It's possible. This means that air flowing past the splash guard could actually be trying to remove air from the splash guard box.

You're talking about the plastic box that sits around the filters right? Just want to make sure the we're on the same page.
