[Eddy18]

I want to buy an AEM or a K&N 69 series typhoon cold air intake, but i wanted to knw if it wont suck up any water into da engine...???

Will it? Depends on how deep of a puddle or heavy of rain you drive through.

Can it? Sure can and then you'll be f**ked.

 

[Eddy18]

yea, i mean if it rains i wat to still be able to drive normally, i jst wat it cuz it will increase mpg too, should i got with a shortram then?

as long as you dont submerge the filter into a puddle, youll be fine.

On a civic? Intake doesn't make a big enough difference.

If you're really set on getting an aftermarket intake... If it rains a lot where you are, I would recommend a short ram. If you're that worried, get a short ram.

This question gets asked a lot.. Anyway the only way for you to hydrolock your engine is if you submerge the filter completely in water. This is rarely ever an issue because that would have to be almost flood water, unless the road has a nasty dip. Or like amej said, if you are really worried about it get a short ram or a bypass valve for a cold air intake. (getting a short ram would be better than the BPV)

wat is da bypass valve???
