A Miracle

Man today, it was raining super hard, actually it was hailing in Compton, CA and as i was driving around in heavy traffic, i ran into a flood where i could feel all the water hitting the bottom of my car and i was panicking cuz i was afraid that my CAI mite suck up some water and then that I'd be stuck there, but fortunately it didn't. And i wasn't stuck there. And after hitting some puddles that i didn't see on the freeway, I'm thinking, the end of the CAI is in front of the tire, and behind the bumper lenses, but after so much water being splashed around, how in the world can it not suck up water? Not that I want it to but still amazed. Man what an experience.

The only way it'll suck up water, is if the whole filter of the CAI is submerged. That should only happen with about 1-1.5 feet of water.

Cai + H20

You do know what hydrolock is right? If a CAI takes in water and it makes in to your motor, you are more than stranded.
