Cold Air Intake in the Winter

I have heard that a cold air intake could be bad for my engine in the winter months. As I live in Canada, I was wondering what solutions there are to my problem. Thanks

if you have a cold air intake just get a by pass valve...it'll be good for you`

Why wouldn't it be good for your engine ? The colder the air the better....and if you are worried about
ingesting water, then get a by-pass valve.

your engine and it wont f*cked up your engine

The by-pass valve is for when the vacuum in the intake tube is lost because there is water in the tube,
it will by-pass the filter and suck air through the by-pass valve instead of pulling in the water.
