I'm not at all certain, Former, but I think that's very unlikely. I guess I'd be a little concerned if I had CAI, but the stock airbox / filter / inlet combination should probably prevent salt particles from getting into the engine.

With all the salty dusk, do you think any will make it pass the air filter and make it into the engine?

I think if some did make it pass the air filter, after combustion and stuff, if any particles are around still the oil filter would get it. Again, having a good oil filter and keeping the oil fresh is good practice.
Wait a sec... My kids might like that. Can you say "snow cones?!"

BAD BAD BAD!!!
Especially on a dark car.
The moment you get "salt" on your car it starts penetrating your clear coat...and then eventually your paint....
My previous car, when i resided in pittsburgh pa, had to be used and abuse in the winter.
After a year i noticed that my underbody was rusting pretty bad.
I would look at similar cars of simliar age in california and the rust did not seem to be as bad.
fok salt....reason why i sold the car, moved to california and got an S~
