what are the chances of water getting into the SRI from injen for the 2.4?? and has this happened to anyone yet??

 

nearly impossible

unless you were driving in water so deep that half of your car was submerged

 

well wat about the crack between the front side panel and the hood could water get through there and get sucked into the intake

 

doesn't pose much of a threat

 

well thats the only thing that is holding me back rite now from gettin the intake cuz if water gets sucked up in there then kiss the engine goodbye

 

Ceases to amaze me how paranoid people are, lol. Just say it's impossible for water to get in a SRI unless the car was submeged. At that point 90% of the car is ruined anyhow.

 

It's nearly impossible to get water even into a CAI with our cars because of the splash gaurd. I mean jesus-christ we have a CAI from the factory that sits down beside the wheel well.

 

you know i want to switch my sri to cai so bad but here in my town it just floods soo much. My friend already got water in his vw because of it once. I Think the ss s/c has the filter covered in some plastic and thats why it doesnt bring up any water.

 

slim to none... i have ram air ..... so far so good.....

 

AEM makes an in-line filter that will fit up to most CAI intakes... it's designed to prevent such things... but even to submerge our filter on the CAI... you'll have to drive through like a foot of water...

 

Agreed, and the foot might even be a bit low

If you have a SRI I can see how you could ever pic up any water.

 

Even if water were to spash on the intake filter, I don't see it seeping through before the heat in the engine bay evaporates it.

 

I drove throw a nasty rain storm w/ my SS/SC + Injen CAI...

When I got home I needed to fix something under the hood...

I noticed the intake pipe was wet... like water splashed on it...

So I poped the wheel off, and took down the splash gaurd...

The FILTER was FAIRLY WET...

So I took the filter off and look inside, and there were a couple of droplets of water on the bottom of the filter...

But not once did the car sputter or act wierd and NO CEL during the rain storm...

My assumption is that the filter will got soaked, thanks to the foglighs... however the water that actual gets in the filter won't be pulled up.

Speaking from a scientific standpoint... air will follow the path of least resistance... so the filter would have to be completely submerged before it would suck up water. The air will just travel through the dry parts of the filter before it gets through the wet parts... so don't worry about it.

 

alrite thanks guys i'll probably order it i just gotta get my dad now to stop being an old fart lol and let me get it and installed

 

ooo and i forgot to ask before once installed does the intake void warrenty??

 

Nope.
