How many of you guys here have a CAI on your vehicle? How do you like them?
I just bought one for my 2008 xB (AEM CAI w/ Dry Filter) and will be able to install it next Tuesday
The only thing that worries me, is that there seems to be a lot of talk about hydrolocking on the research I have done, but in the end it seems that those people just drive through way too deep of puddles... CAI or not. What are your thoughts on this whole topic? Obviously, common sense says to be careful with flood-type conditions, but what about water-spray from following behind people on the freeway and such when its raining? Any real danger with that? It seems if anything, the filter may get a fine mist or something but nothing too dramatic. At least for me, the xB has splash-shields under the vehicle and in the wheel-well to protect from water, and the filter once installed will sit about 15" or so from the ground, above the splash shield. I think it would be fine, no?
Just looking forward to hearing what you guys feel/think about CAI systems.
