intake- cold air vs. short ram

Short Ram FTW...I had an AEM CAI on my dc2 and the first time it rained i hit a puddle, the motor hydrolocked and slung a rod through the block.

depends on your setup and I guess how lowered your car is.


SR is better for me...my engine got raped in July due to heavy rainwater in the road. i was lucky that engine started (& wouldn't start until 18 hours later). my new SR came in handy 2 weeks ago. the day after i installed it, it poured down like hell here. lets just say, i wasn't stuck on the side of the rd this time

I don't think the lowering matters, atleast not on subcompacts. I used to drive a stock height civic with a CAI and got water in it just from driving a long distance in the rain, not through any puddles or anything.

There is not much hp difference between cold air and short ram. Boost the dammmm car.

mine had to do with height. i drove in 1 puddle and my whole intake filter got submerged for no more than 5 seconds and my car shut off. atleast now i dont have anything to worry about.
