Hey, im from Winnipeg and was wondering if I would run into any problems during winter if I left my SRI in. Such as Hydro-Locking. If anyone knows, then please let me know advantages and disadvantages of having a SRI during winter in Manitoba. Thanks.

hahha - awesome, well a friend of mine got me a bit scared about hydrolockin or some poop and was saying that in winter the intake pipe heats up, then you park the car, then condensation accumulates on inside and outside the pipe, and when you start the car next time, the condensation inside the pipe is sucked into your engine. What are your thoughts on this?

I would think the condenseation wouldn't be enough to hydrolock the engine.

Make sure you get a decent filter, not a cheap no namer.

One of my fellow clubrsx'ers just hydrolocked his SRI going through a puddle....apparently the puddle was just the finisher for the motor, the internals were completely rusted cause it's been sucking moisture for months!!
