| − | Normally a shortram/warm air intake is a better idea if your car sees snow and other wet, inclement weather. A CAI is better suited for track use or for a car which rarely (if ever) sees bad weather. If your car pulls water up in the intake then you'll hydrolock it and if you're lucky you can pull the spark plugs out, crank the engine a few times, reinstall plugs, and be on your way. Lots of times you'll ruin the internals of the engine since water will not compress. The engine parts will bend before water will compress! | + | Normally a shortram/warm air intake is a better idea if your car sees snow and other wet, inclement weather.

In some instances you can use a bypass that eliminates the threat of sucking up and water. |
