CAI questions! please help
im considering getting a cold air intake but i have a few questions that need to be answered before i get one.
1) how far is the filter off of the ground?
2) with its height, will it be risky driving it in the rain?
3) if i get a 2 piece that is convertible to a short ram intake, will i be able to convert it real quick? lets say in a parking lot if it starts pouring? or would you have to take the bumper off?
4) do you have to take the bumper off every time you want to clean the filter?

1. It sits right behind where the stock fogs are, so you can measure that.
2. No.
3. If you get something that's specifically designed to go from CAI to SRI, then
. If it's a regular CAI, then
. As for removing the bumper,
. You can go through the wheel well and remove the filter. Then, you can slide the tube out from up top. But, this depends on where you put the vibration mount.
4. No. You can go through the wheel well lining.
2. No.

Why don't you just remove the intake silencer instead? when you remove all of that tubing and the silencer box, there's one more tube that connects to the airbox that draws cold air from behind the fender well. And it sits WAY higher than most CAI filters do...you would have to drive into a lake to hydrolock pretty much. You're also basically getting the same effect as a CAI and it's a lot easier to replace / clean the filter.

Depends on the type of work that needs to be done, and how cool/laid back the service manager is, i wouldnt be surprised if it does VOID warranty, but then again, I wouldnt be surprised if my service man didnt log it and continued on with the work- but then again, i hope to never have to find out

Don't get a CAI first. They are not worth it for the money. Get a J-pipe or underdrive pully. You will notice much more hp gains from either of those.
