If I lower my car after gettin a cold air intake installed, will my chances of hydrolocking go up? I live in Maryland and it doesnt get crazy wet over here. Also if anybody has their car lowered and has a cai, can you give your input/experiences

 

You always take risks installing the cai due to hydrolocks, but there is a little netting you can put around the filter that repels water. Sorry I don't have the link though...

no, if you are driving through 1ft of water or 1.5ft of water, its all relatively, you're screwed. I have a CAI and lowered, the car still has plenty of clearence if you aren't slammed.

 

If you're worry about hydrolocking you can also consider the Comptech Ice Box.

 

2 inches won't increase your chances enough to worry about it. Why would you want to drive through standing water anyway?



That's just a bad idea, IMO.

 

What's the difference between the two...? Comptech ice box vs. injen? Thanks! I know this has been covered....

 

In both Injen and Comptech installations the stock resonator is taken out. The difference is that the Injen is a long tube used to drawn cold air while the ice box has a shorter tube that connects to the existing OEM air box but has a bigger box to increase air flow to the engine.
