Can someone post their pictures of their stock air box, cold air intake, or short ram intake? I want to see a comparison of what they look like. I'm trying to see how CAI draws their cold air from, and how SRI would draw more but potentially hot air into the engine.
a picture of how high a CAI off the ground compared to a stock air box or SRI would be nice, too. Trying to see how high the puddle you're running into needs to be, before you start sucking water into your engine.
I read the sticky intake FAQ, nothing about CAI or SRI, pictures would be nice.
I'd start a poll, but that would just lead to some flame wars.

I think it would be impossible to predict if water will get into that filter because you have to take too many factors into consideration. First most cold air intakes sit pretty low on most cars. Maybe averaging about 7-10 inches from the ground depending on the model of civic. Also depending on your speed and how large the puddle is (you also have to think whether the puddle is actually a pothole filled with water) and may not know how deep it really is makes calculating your chances of getting water there impossible. There's just too many things to think about when it comes down to this issue. I think most importantly it depends on where you are located. Ask people around with modded cars to see if they would recommend using a cold air in your area. But that's just my .02

So is it like Rodeo Sex? You know, where you’re with a girl from behind and then you whisper in her ear that her sister’s boobs feel firmer and have to hold on for more than 8 seconds.

my AEM CAI sits about 4" from the ground, i have a by pass valve on it as well. I put a custom made mesh in the passengers side wheel well so the filter is exposed to everything lol just get a CAI and dont drive through puddles.

Stock air box. Air inlet is behind battery. really tiny...
So the tube that's behind and to the left of the battery is where the air goes in?
I don't really get how a SRI would get air if it's inside the engine bay, same for the stock air inlet (at least this one is slightly towards the front, where air can go through).
Puddles and flooding, areas that flood, definitely not a CAI, or don't drive when it rains. I don't live in an area that floods, but yeah, you really can't predict when and where you might run into a deep puddle. I've seen storm drains get blocked, and large puddles form. If a CAI goes from 4" to a foot, I'm not too sure though.
Besides that, it seems like CAI are the way to go, it looks like the best one to get the most fresh air instead of inside the engine bay, where air flow gets blocked, etc.
