People that live in places where the temp. reaches to -30 degrees

Those of you who have a drop in k&n or comptech air filter,icebox, cold air intake, or any other intake in the TL and live in places that have -30 degree weather in winter, do you guys still leave them in or do u put back the stock air box? I'm just scared that somethings might freeze up. Thanks.

Oh yeah, and most the people I know with the icebox leave it in all year round. People with AEM usually swap the stock airbox back in for winter.

If I lived in a place that got that cold, I would definately invest in a Block Heater. It keeps your engine moderately warm through even the coldest nights, and I heard it even helps keep your windshield from becomming a solid block of ice at night. For only $75-100... I think that would be totally worth the savings in time.

I left my K&N in all year round on my previous 3 cars and I plan to do the same on my TL I just wash out my K&N a couple of times in winter, depending on the salt and sand that the Wis DOT likes to dump around.
