how much rain??? that depends on your local drainage system.

 

Cool, the V2 is probably the CAI I will get.

 

just be sure the cover the drain hole that drains onto most CAI filters in the s2k. Just do a search and you should know which hole I'm talking about. That seems to be the biggest issue in terms of hydrolocking. I had an Injen (same as v2) CAI and I was always worried whenever it rained so to ease my paranoia I switched to a K&N FipK

 

If you go fishing in the S it will hydro lock but otherwise I wouldnt worry about it...

 

I see. I think I will have that same paranoia too. I'm sure you know about the rain here in Georgia, it can be great one day and hell the next. I'm still debating whether to get a AEM V2 or K&N FIPK. The gains, if any, are going to be similar, right?

 

avoid large bodies of water, at all cost

 

I think I am going to be too paranoid even with a little of water, if I get a CAI.

 

iv had a cai for 2 years now never had a problem i one hydroplained and ran into a puddle my car stuttered i reved it and it dies my heart stoped fearing hydrolock but i turned the motor over it fired up gave it a few revs and it cleard up ... lol


no worryes just be carful i try not to drive through puddles.

the biggest killer of engines in my own opinion is the missshift 3rd to 2nd i blew my engine that way and have heard tons of horror storys

 

I know lots of people have run CAIs and have had no problems. However, there are still people that have had issues with hydrolocking so even if the chance is < 0.05% I would rather not chance it. Gains between the two are the same (if intakes gave any gains at all).

 

Hmmm, I guess I will just go with the FIPK then.
