car wash
 
any problem going through a car wash if i have a short ram intake. the car wash near my house aslo has an underbody spray, just wondering if it would actually get to the filter.

No problem at all with a short ram, with a cold air intake I might be a bit concerned though.

I had a CAI and went through the car wash almost every week in the winter with no issues. Mine had a water shield on it though, so I dunno. Even then, the intake was dry after the wash.

Mine has no shield and the wash has jets from the bottom to clean the underbody. that's what i am mose concerned about.

yes, but you said it's a short ram intake, so the filter is located in the engine bay.

i took off the engine under covers too and dont have an issue. open the hood and make sure there is something under the filter to block the water. i have the transmission under mine.

Short rams should be fine, CAI is the one that reaches far down

never had troubles with my CAI.
Maybe sometimes the engine dies just after, though


(JOKE! JOKE! :D - don't believe in the last part!)
