Am I fine to install a cold air intake in the winter, or is it just gonna act like a giant wet vac to any light and powdery snow on the ground (thus soaking my engines internals)?

That might sound stupid to some of you, but I've never had one before so I don't know any better.

 

Go ahead,it wont hurt anything...Unless you drive your car into a pond..

 

eh pond will be frozen. he is golden

 

Plus I had that hover conversion done on my Max before my flux capacitor broke (ironically, due to taking on too much water...)

 

You went past 88 MPH didn't you?

 

Of course, it's a Nissan! But when I hit 89 and didn't see the space/time continuum bending itself to my will, well needless to say I was irritated to say the least. That's why I need the cold air intake, to provide the extra power I need to reach 88mph quickly in the rain. A quick note to other Maxi time travellers, don't attempt the jump on a rainy day with the moonroof fully opened, you'll scramble the time circuits.

 

note taken...

 

 

My CAI used to get wet allot just in normal rain. The reason is this...

there is a passage way behind the(where the foglight should be), that passage way pushes cold AIR into the inner pannel between the fender and the support structure(in font of the drivers wheel behind the black plastic fender lining). You'll see what I am talking about, when you pull your drivers wheel off and remoce the inner fender black plastic splash guard.

All I did was place some reynolds wrap and duct tape on the front side behind the fog light(where it woulld go if you had a pair of lights)...

No more problem, no more wet CAI.

 

It depends on where you mount the CAI actually, I have no problem with the rain since that's ALL WE'VE had since I installed the damn thing. Mine is actually IN the fender beneath all of the headlights and what not facing downwards and I haven't had any kind of problem, just make sure you have your splash guards and you're good to go.

NO, NO, NO; that's not right!

Just kidding.

Just a note as we can see, each case is different. my CAI(no names mentioned) pipe was getting drenched to the point of dripping when it would rain. I had to shield it from the front.

 

When mounting a Bomz Cai, dont you have to cut a small hole in the wheelwell and stick the filter through there?
