    = NO PROBLEM :lol:

    For all of you who actually were worried about the rain and it was keeping you from buying a CAI...

    I drove mine through constant rain for over 2 hours today without a hydro-sheild and it was no problem at all. So stop worrying and BUY THE DAMN THING :D

    Thank you, i drove about an hour the other day through a massive rain storm here in jersey and no problem at all :).

    when i got home tho i saw light drops of water drippin off the filter and didnt' liek that part so i said funk it and got me a blue hydro shield from P-Tuning. Just to be extra safe.

    But liek subawho says stop worring and enjoy teh best intake availble :)

    Yes, realize that even though there is water on the filter, it has to travel through around 2 feet of piping to get to the engine....and in that time it will dry up anyways :p

    The only problem i see with the CAI is for us Canadian with the winter . When we drive around on rainy winter days the water will freeze on the filter or the water net . I think it's easy to fix by putting a deflector beind the fogligth and the wheel whel but only on the 5 speed lancer because the CVT needs that air flow . or just remove the CAI for the winter

    Well this thing isn't much to brag about until the engine actually climbs up the powerband. That's when this baby purrs. If/when you get it you won't be dissapointed.

    Can't wait to get back from France to order this along with my pulley and wait for the exhaust since I'm getting a turbo once it's out. 4 more days then I'm home.

    Ok, well I just barged through the rain here in LA, it was ridiculous :?

    anyways, the filter was soaked via: puddles, mist from other cars and stuff

    my report- As long as you arn't flooring it, and taking Super deep puddles the car in My case has been fine without a hydroshield, but I am no longer going to risk it until I get my hydroshield.
