Changing your aem cai into a short ram for the rain
OK I know this may sound like common sense to most of you. But if you havn't pulled the lower part of your cai off and made it into a short ram yet DO IT NOW! It isn't hard and may save your engine. Especially if your car is low. I just hate to see posts of people who have hydrolocked thier engine. The rain is coming down hard and causes alot of unexpected deep puddles. Just a piece of advice for us in Cali.

Rep Power: 0 I know some people are pretty lazy in doing that... I'm one of them, and so is my buddy CivicSouldjaEX. I passed through what it seemed like a river in Rancho Cucamonga, good thing I was in my truck and not a couple inches off the ground in my car. You can always put your stock air box, for those who have single piece intakes.

AEM & Injen CAI's are 2 piece so like he said remove the CAI extension.

Rep Power: 0 I have a short ram intake by aem but I think rain still gets in my intake. Sometimes when i drive fast over mini-puddles, my engine makes a weird hissing noise, then my exhaust starts to rattle and rumble. I rev my car to 6800 to flush out the water , i think our cars kick up water from our passenger tire into our engine bay. Are any of you guys having the same problem or is it just me?

Rep Power: 0 The water splashes might be going to your header and exhaust piping... i'm guessing that's why you hear the hissing sound.
I seriously doubt water gets sucked in short ram, eventhough i see some water spots on my filter..
