Cold air intakes are illegal everywhere but Nova Scotia.


Please, search.

I've run my AEM CAI through some pretty heavy rain and never had an issue. You would almost have to submerge the cone in water to hydrolock. I wouldn't try crossing any lakes or anything. If you're really concerned about it, you can use a bypass: http://www.tirerack.com/intake/detail.jsp?ID=1082

Lol, that was classic Civic. I can see some people now trying to Google if it's illegal to run a CAI on their cars.

You can def run a CAI, if you're worried about hydrolock A.) Don't drive through deep puddles that you wouldn't walk through, and B.) Get an AEM Bypass Valve, best $50 I ever spent and it saved my engine when I was driving on a flooded street

I was in Myrtle Beach SC during a hurricane, it rained heavily while we were out to dinner, and I was forced to drive back to our beach house through several flooded roads. Water was up to about my headlights and was cresting over my hood, where my CAI filter was down at the very bottom edge of my inner fenderwell, and I could hear the bypass valve start sucking when the filter was submerged under water preventing hydrolock. I have been a believer ever since
