filter wraps
I've been reading that, with the Injen CAI, people are concerned with it getting wet (as am I).
I've also read and heard from friends that it's ok, as long as you don't drive fully submerged.
I'm inclined to think it's ok too, but is it worth it to maybe put a drycharger or another sort of filter wrap on it? For peace of mind and "just in case" ??
Thanks in advance,

thanks, butl i'd have a lot more to worry about than just my air filter if my car was fully submerged! haha
i was just wondering if it helped when driving in rain and splashing through the occasional unavoidable puddle.

well
I email the sales at Injen... first of all... the intake filter locates about 14 inches above the ground... it's above the lower edge of the door... he says, if you ever get into that deep pond... you should worry about how to get out the car first...
as long as you don't soak the whole filter into the water... it shouldn't sock up any water since it's a really think tube. As long as you drive on the regular road... it should be ok overall... but what if... yes people worry about what if... well... I read from another forum.. there is something from comptech or whatever company (I will go back to search and post again later) something you can use to bypass if there is any water coming in the tube... if I remember things right... I wil do some research it the thread is still there!

AEM makes a bypass valve, basically, it mounts mid-tube, and if the filter clogs, it will allow the bypass valve to open and suck intake from there. I've been running CAI for over 4 years and haven't had a problem in my Civic, Accord, or TSX now.
