Take a look at the second picture down in the left colum

Anyone know how far the opening / filter is from the ground in comparison to a stock intake?

I forgot to measure mine or even eyeball it when I put the Injen on, but now Acura is giving me shit for having an intake, saying they're "probably gonna suck up crud because its lower to the ground than the stock intake".

Suck up crud?

There is a filter there, probably a better one than stock, only think you can suck up is water and air.

AND if something happens to your engine...thye have to prove that it was the intake...so don't let them play you

Unfortaunately we don't have the Moss-Magnussen type of law in Canada. So yeah, they can ignore my complaints if they think it might be caused by a modification.

And yeah I know about filters being better than stock, but, they think if its too low maybe I'll get water, etc... into the engine and cause damage.

You might get water in your engine, and if you do your enigine is most likely screwed but the chances are so low, its nearly immpossible. If you got water in your engine, you would know. They wouldn't hve to prove it, your would be hydrolocked. I for one have driven through severly flooded highways with my CAI (not by choice) and came out fine. You would really have to drive through a river to get water in your engine. The chances are very slim. I was worried about hydrolocking too before I got my K&N, but i'm not anymore.

As far as the warranty claim, i'm no help. I'm not familiar with Can law at all.

Hey, Gibson, so does your K&N have the dry charger on it? I'm wondering if something like the Injen CAI, which doesn't have the dry charger, would be more susceptible to drawing water in.

Thanks

Yes I have the drycharger. I would say that the drycharger does bring some piece of mind, it a sheeth that slides over the filter to prevent drops of water to be sucked into the engine. it would take driving in A LOT of water to get through the drycharger, sucked past the filter, make it all the way up the intake without evaporating, and into your engine to cause serious damamge.

It gives you an extra layer of protection, so you could probably say that a filter without one would be more susceptible to sucking in water.

You can order the drycharger seperate and use it on the Injen for an extra $20-30. The Injen uses the K&N filter, so it will fit.
